House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), alongside former President Donald Trump, announced the introduction of legislation aimed at tightening the requirements for voter registration in federal elections.
Speaker Johnson traveled to Florida on Friday for a crucial meeting with the one individual capable of saving his leadership position, former President Donald Trump. The meeting comes after he approved of warrantless spying on American citizens, jeopardizing the Fourth Amendment right.
Laura Loomer wrote earlier, “President Trump needs to cancel his meeting at Mar a Lago with Speaker Johnson. He just broke a tied vote and voted in favor of not requiring a warrant for the government to spy on Americans. Donald Trump said Kill FISA. Mike Johnson just helped Joe Biden have an easier time spying on President Trump’s 2024 campaign and paved the way for increased mass surveillance of Americans. He’s trying to sabotage Trump!”
In an attempt to save his career, Speaker Johnson emphasized the critical importance of upholding election integrity, citing concerns over non-citizens influencing election outcomes due to the “open border catastrophe.”
“States are currently prohibited from asking someone to prove they’re a citizen,” Speaker Johnson said.
He highlighted the ease with which individuals can register to vote while applying for a driver’s license under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, commonly known as the “motor voter law.”
“If an individual only asserts or simply states that they are a citizen, they don’t have to prove it. They can register that person to vote in a federal election. You see, states are currently prohibited,” Johnson said.
“Believe it or not, the states are prohibited from asking someone to prove that they’re a citizen. The federal voter registration form just has a check-up box. If you do that, you’re good. The states can’t allow it. We think that’s a serious problem.”
“We only want US citizens to vote in US elections. But there are some Democrats who don’t want to do that. We believe that one of their designs, one of the reasons for this open border, which everybody ask all around the country, why would they do this?”
...more
must be great to be brandon and the dems with republicans like these. why would they ever give up anything?
per Dire Straits, “Money for nothing, and your chicks for free.”
UFB that GOP morons haven’t addressed the motor-voter scam for 30 years.
UFB?
It will never pass.
How will it do that?
There’s no way to make it take effect in time for 2024, and Biden will veto. It’s just political theater.
Just a backdoor way of introducing a national identification card. First it’s for voting. Next, it’s for everything else.
I wish he would just resign....get ready for his brave “prayer in school” mantra....
Doesn’t RealID require a birth certificate?
Un Fracking Believable
Snowball’s chance in Hell of passing.
Sometimes I think that Trump just exercises bad judgement........but also some kind of deal was made.
There are bigger fish frying in the fat.

Yes, in Texas it does. Probably in other states also .
Since half voted for the biggs amendment, this was not some wild-eyed anti-security bill. It was a rational approach to constitutional warrants. Johnson went completely against his own word.
The sticky wicket, however, is that those invaders still count in the census count, which allows representation in the House of Representatives AND in the Electoral College.

Cui bono? Who benefits?
Millions of illegals pouring into the country must settle somewhere.
We assume the Dems are sending these poor wanderers to Republican states, there to drain their budgets and dilute their voter rolls.
But those added bodies actually benefit the Republican “victim” states when the census comes around. More population in the census equates to more House seats and more goodies from Uncle Sugar. Consequently, shipping busloads of wretches to Dem strongholds benefits the census numbers while draining their treasuries.
Again, who benefits?
He’s a gay democrat sleeper agent
change my mind
He looks, talks and acts so slimy. Don’t trust him at all.
Headlines from CFP-—
“””Mike Johnson introduces the SAVE Act, new bill requiring that only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections.
Motor Voter doesn’t require proof of citizenship.
Just a few hundreds thousand Illegal voters can flip this election.”””
While I am glad to see some talk about illegals voting in 2024, our government leaders have known since Motor Voter was passed in 1993 that this was a problem.
Our government leaders have had 31 years to fix the problem of non-citizens voting and have done nothing.
All those important people who came in to give eye witnesses report of what the FISA government did to them at the congressional hearing was a waste of time. They’re not listening to their base anymore. Our Congress representatives are useless. Majority Leader Johnson is the worst of the bunch. He backstabbed us when he could’ve killed the FISA yesterday but instead the FBI and the DOJ had a little meeting with him and warned him if you don’t vote to keep it alive they would dish out Johnson’s dirty laundry. That’s how it works with these bastards at the DC swamp. Spineless SOB!!!
