Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) argued against the SAVE America Act, saying "can you really trust the government with your name, address, date of birth, driver's license number, and biometric information like height, weight, hair color, and eye color? The SAVE Act asks you to place that trust in them. I personally would not. States would be required to report their full voter rolls to Department of Homeland Security and certify that there are no non-citizens on their list. And the federal government can require, then, states to purge their voter roles of any non-citizens."
The State of Rhode Island currently shares all of this information with left-wing election groups like the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) and the Center for Election Innovation & Research (CEIR). Rhode Island also invites non-citizens to register to vote. Reed is okay with this "because these are just public interest groups interested in encouraging more people to vote. They are not a heavily-armed military autocracy under the control of a right-wing fascist who is already sending Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) goons to terrorize immigrants whose dream is to become American citizens. It is an ethical travesty that any person is barred from voting for who will govern over them just because he or she is not a citizen. Voting is a human right. Limiting it to a fragment of the population is fundamentally unjust."
"Thankfully, in my home state it is illegal to ask for proof of citizenship from a person registering to vote," Reed added. "Rhode Island recognizes the illegitimacy of such a burdensome requirement. In my state, anyone who asserts that he or she is a citizen is allowed to register and cast a ballot. The fact that former President Biden sued Virginia for removing more than 6,000 non-citizens from the voter rolls shows that we are on the right side of this moral issue. The SAVE America Act is on the wrong side. That's why it must never be enacted."
In related news, Rep. Shomari Figures (D-Ala) attempted to prove that obtaining a photo ID is too difficult for a Black person. During a town hall meeting in the Truevine Missionary Baptist Church in Toulminville he asked for a show of hands of those who do not have a photo ID. Not one of the nearly 100 Black attendees raised a hand. "I'm guessing a group of church-going Blacks is not a representative sample of what's going on in the real world," Figures hypothesized. "I bet that the results at a homeless camp would be different. A few of these folks are mentally ill or on drugs and might not have be able to get a proper ID."

But it wouldn’t be if Democrats wanted it.
Re “… “can you really trust the government with your name, address, date of birth, driver’s license number, and biometric information like height, weight, hair color, and eye color?…”
You mean… Like all the stuff I have to put on my form 4473 to legally buy a firearm????
This guy is a complete ass clown… But then again, he’s a Democrat, so that’s kind of redundant isn’t it…
Ok. Then I guess I don’t need to file taxes.
Are ALL Democrats retarded? (Rhetorical question).
My government put a fully-automatic rifle in my hands before it allowed me to vote.
What is immoral, is the importing foreign nationals to supplant the population of registered American citizens, that did not vote to the pleasure of Democrats.
More proof that:
The only good communist is a dead communist...
It is our duty as citizens to help everyone be as good as possible...
If we are unwilling to do our duty, maybe we should not complain...
Uh... the government is the entity that ISSUED that driver's license, which includes all that information. Is this guy an idiot??
And these same morons wanted us to put our faith in this same govt by adopting a Universal Healthcare model. 🤣
