WASHINGTON, D.C. — With debate ongoing over the Republican-proposed SAVE Act to shore up U.S. election integrity, Democrat lawmakers countered by proposing their own legislation, the STEAL Act, to ban voter ID in elections.
The bill, which has the full title of Shield The Election From Legitimacy Act, would make it illegal for anyone to present valid identification when voting in an election, thereby preventing any safeguards against fraud from being put in place.
"This legislation is vital to the survival of our party," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "With Republicans seeking to discriminate against people by only allowing citizens to vote, they've left us no choice but to respond with our own bill that would ensure a complete lack of election integrity whatsoever. That's why we are proud to introduce the STEAL Act. This legislation will give the Democratic Party a bright and robust future for all elections."
Senate Democrats also championed the bill as the nation's last and best hope to subvert election security moving forward. "Without this law, we will be stuck with legitimate democracy," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said. "I shudder to think of the level of election security that would be put in place if this legislation does not pass. Can you imagine an America where only people who are legally allowed to vote can cast their ballots? It's terrifying."
At publishing time, Democrats were reportedly working hard to stage a water main break in the Capitol to interrupt voting on the SAVE Act and allow more time for shenanigans.

The thin red line between satire and truth is getting smaller and smaller by the day.
The headline truly deceived me until I saw it was the Bee. This would not really be parody in my opinion.
When they vote for a measure in the House they use an electronic voting system (EVS) at their desks with a personalized card to cast their votes, in essence an ID card. The hypocrisy of leftist politicians knows no bounds.
California law SB1174 bans voting authorities from requiring ID for voting. So while this article may sound ridiculous, Democrats will absolutely do the same nation wide as soon as they regain power.
I’ve been stung by the Bee so many times....
Gotta be careful with the satire. The dems will read it and say, “That’s a good idea!”
This is a joke article, but in 2022, the HR 1 and SR 1 bills (the top priority in the Democrat House and Senate) were bills to mandate easy election fraud nationwide, such as mail-in voting being required with mail-in votes received up to ~7 days after the election, drop boxes, outlawing voter ID (except a simple signature), etc. Elections nationwide would become total kabuki theater.
As I recall, it passed in the House, and the Democrats intended to nuke the filibuster to pass it in the Senate, but that was blocked by Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema.
Now if we can just get the GOP Senate to realize the DNC just stepped into a huge bear trap.
Ha! Good one.
“Shield The Election From Legitimacy Act”
Democrats always show they have more to hide then not.
I thought it had to be sarcasm or parody if it came from Babylon Bee . . . ;o)
You had me going there until I saw the line about the water main break. Yeesh!
The Bee gives out the news of the future...TODAY...
The dems will sell America down the river for a vote. Some animals have probably voted democratic.
