House Democrats have been called “traitors” as they prepare to wage war against Republicans over a bill requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in a federal election.
The House Democratic leadership is urging its members to vote against the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act on the House floor, according to Axios.
Billionaire Elon Musk savaged those opposing the bill in a Friday post on his X social media platform.
“Those who oppose this are traitors. All Caps: TRAITORS What is the penalty for traitors again?” he said.

The SAVE Act — sponsored by Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy — would require a voter to provide proof of citizenship such as a passport or birth certificate. Elections officials would be required to ask new voters about their citizenship at the time they register. Noncitizens would need to be purged from the rolls.
In a memo last week urging her fellow Democrats to oppose the bill, House Minority Whip Katherine Clark of Massachusetts claimed it would create an “extreme burden for countless Americans” and “further intimidate election officials and overburden states’ abilities to enroll new voters.”
The memo said Rep. Joe Morelle of New York — the top Democrat on the Administration Committee — “strongly opposes this bill as written.”
“It’s just another way of stopping people from voting,” Morelle said of the legislation, according to The New York Times. “I mean, they just continue to suppress the ability of people to vote.”
Meanwhile, Republicans issued a 22-page report in support of the legislation.

Can he add a new label called “Traitors - those who oppose the foundational doctrines of their nation” to their X profiles?
First, from what I've been about to determine in recent research, something like 96% of citizens have these available, so accommodation is needed for a very small number of people.
Second, people need these for many activities.
I'd rather read that we've disenfranchised a small percent of citizens than allow a large number of illegal aliens and non-citizens to vote.

Truth is the Dems are firing on Fort Sumter AGAIN!!! They hate the Constitution and they never tire of telling us how they plan to get rid of that singular historical document. The Demo'Rat Party should have been outlawed in 1865!
Anything intended to result in one (living) citizen, one vote, honest elections, the Dims will oppose and they will accuse you being the lowest form of election suppressor if you support such efforts.
They are traitors... democrats should be protecting the vote - NOT selling out American citizens.
Yes they are TRAITORS!

After all, you are suppressing ‘their’ election suppression.
But the law as it currently stands is that there is NO PUNISHMENT if they THOUGHT they were allowed to vote.
Why not just let anyone vote from anywhere in the world?
Does that require citizenship?
I teach classes that help people prepare for their naturalization interviews. In all of the materials, including those from the USCIS itself, it says that thr most important right of CITIZENSHIP is the vote. My students understand that, and so should members of Congress.
Totally true.
Unless you bring handcuffs, they couldn't care less.
They can have foreigners vote in state elections but not in federal elections.
otherwise, foreigners would be able to dictate our govt.
IF any state cannot assure ONLY citizens voted in the election then the whole state should be REMOVED from the federal totals.
Gee, The Stupid Party woke up. All open borders proponents are traitors and should be shot. Wanna seal the border, get rid of those who advocate open borders.
DemocRATS turbocharged their election rigging machine by trying to jail Trump. Now they’re trying to add a rocket engine by allowing millions of illegal aliens to vote.
