The original SAVE Act was an indefensible step backward, and the revised version is worse. It passed the Republican-led House anyway.
A couple of years ago, House Speaker Mike Johnson made a pilgrimage of sorts to Mar-a-Lago to kiss Donald Trump’s ring and hold a joint news conference with the then-former president. It was not, however, a simple photo-op: The Republicans unveiled a proposal they appeared to be rather proud of.
The GOP duo pitched legislation that would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote. The absurdity of watching two notorious election deniers pretend to be deeply concerned with the integrity of elections was a detail the political world was apparently supposed to overlook.
Soon after, House Republicans followed through, introducing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act, a version of which passed the GOP-led chamber last year.
In time, however, Trump and his party decided their own plan wasn’t quite far enough to the right. So they overhauled it, made it worse and gave it a new name: the SAVE America Act.
Trump doesn’t have much of a legislative agenda, but he insisted that House Republicans pass this bill. And as is too often the case, GOP lawmakers did as the White House instructed.
The final vote was 218-213, with Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas being the only Democrat to vote for passage.

Thank you for not posting Democrat propaganda.
“All Americans would be required to prove their U.S. citizenship when registering to vote.”

The difference is that now there are enough people on social media (and in government) who will challenge these Left-wing, mentally-ill lowlifes to explain why this is a step backwards. When they are utterly incapable of doing so, they’ll be a great source of new memes, humorous video clips, and jokes.
I love the way these far left freaks have heart attacks anytime the Americans do anything that would make our circus elections honest and fair. They know they’re about to lose a ton of votes.
“The final vote was 218-213, with Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas being the only Democrat to vote for passage.”
Should democrats pass a law making it illegal to require an ID to do anything?
If it is not a problem, then Dems should vote for it.
So you aren't interested in what lies they are telling today so you can be prepared to fight them?
So much dishonest bilge
I take some pleasure in the salty tears they will be shedding today after Trump and Zeldin’s announcement that the linchpin of all their climate change nonsense is being revoked.
Top that with the SAVE Act, which I think will eventually pass, and it will be a river of salty tears, the likes of which haven’t been seen since November 2024.
Read the headline and laughed.
Huh ... so “MS13 NOW” is butthurt over the SAVE act. What is “MS13 NOW” trying to hide?
Senaturd Thune needs a spine transplant and an infusion of testosterone ... maybe with that, he'd have what it takes to force a real filibuster. 'Rats standing in the Senate Chamber blathering and driveling against election integrity would be a wonderful sight.
“- All Americans would be required to prove their U.S. citizenship when registering to vote.
- Voters would be required under federal law to present identification when casting ballots in person or by mail, even in states that do not have voter ID laws.”
Oh my God!!! The horror!!!
MS NOW stands for Middle-School, Nagging, Obnoxious, Whites.

They think they will be the last to get eaten when CW II comes. When in fact they will be the first to be eliminated.
