Sen. John Fetterman calls Trump's criticism of mail-in voting "ridiculous"
CBS News ^ | march 11, 2026 | Faris Tanyos

Posted on 03/11/2026 5:17:03 PM PDT by McGruff

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania on Wednesday dismissed the SAVE America Act, the controversial elections bill being pushed by the Trump administration and some Republican lawmakers, criticizing what he sees as the GOP's about-face on mail-in voting.

"I don't support it…in its current state," Fetterman told CBS News chief White House correspondent Major Garrett in an interview Wednesday.

"The president is constantly critical on mail-in voting, and that's ridiculous," Fetterman said. "It's safe. Some of the best examples in the country are from red states like Ohio and Florida."

Because red states are more likely to run honest elections??

No.

Show up.

Show ID.

Then vote.

I think for Trump, the mail-in is a bargaining chip he’d be willing to drop to get the SAVE bill passed.

Dems in 2020: Sen elect Fetterman's stroke doesn't have any bearing on his competency and ability to hold office
Dems today: Sen Fetterman's now that miraculous made a recovery and changed his thinking on things we hold near and dear his competency and ability to hold office must come into question.
How many Dems, at least surreptitiously are trying to remove Sen Fetterman from office?

I live in CO and can tell you mail in ballots are not safe, they are designed for fraud.

Funny how there was a recent court decision that the USPS could not be held accountable for deliberately not delivering mail. I guess that means they could just dump mail from conservative zip codes in the dumpster without any fear of being prosecuted.

Someone got to Fetterman. He should check out Oregon. Not one republican governor elected since mail in voting began. Oregon demoncrats have it down to an art now and no republicans win EVER. They’ve also taught every other dem run state how to commit fraud with mail in votes.
The SAVE act needs to be LAW. All it does is insure everyone who votes must show ID and be a US citizen like it was in the 1970’s.
If not, we’re dead meat.

I was involved last week in qualifying Republican candidates for the May primary. The first thing we did was check ID, even though these were mostly incumbents who we knew.

My line - “We’re Republicans, we check ID.”

Which the candidates generally got a laugh from, and had no problem with it.

That’s why I said “someone” got to him. Probably threats.
Plenty demoncrats want him out:

It’s a pity to have to trade horses at the racetrack to get something done, imagine what this country would be without RINOs.

He should talk to the guy who dumped 280k ballots in his own state in 2020.

“Jesse Morgan, a truck driver with USPS subcontractor says he was suspicious of his cargo load of 288,000 COMPLETED ballots: “I was driving completed ballots from New York to Pennsylvania. I didn’t know, so I decided to speak up.””
