Since the Senate debate began on the SAVE America Act, the Democrats have spent an awful lot of time denouncing the legislation as part of a sinister Republican conspiracy whose ultimate goal is to prevent legitimate voters from casting ballots in federal elections. …
Here are ten of their biggest fibs:
Lie # 1 – The SAVE America Act is a “voter suppression” bill
This is the most frequently repeated lie about the SAVE America Act. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), for example, describes his party’s position on the SAVE America Act as follows: “Our objection as Democrats is not to a photo ID… our objection is it’s a voter suppression bill.” [R]epublicans decided to call his bluff. Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) requested unanimous consent to pass a bill with only a single provision—that voters must produce a photo ID when they cast a ballot. The Democrats blocked it.
***
Ironically, some of the claims made by Democrats inadvertently admit that illegal aliens are voting. On Friday, for example, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer contended that the SAVE America Act wasn’t really about voting: “Do not listen to the Republican talking points about voter ID. That’s a ruse. Underneath the surface, the SAVE [America] Act is a voter purge bill.” … Why would Schumer object to “purging” these ineligible voters from the rolls?
The answer is obvious. The Democrats can no longer win elections if only American citizens are permitted to vote. There is no other explanation for their opposition to a bill that enjoys the support of 80 to 90 percent of Americans – including a majority of rank-and-file Democrat voters. But their “leadership” clearly believes that, if illegal aliens are prevented from voting, it will be the death knell of the Democrat Party.

It annoys the H out of me when so called journalists talk about the rat concerns like they are legitimate objections. Everyone knows it is BS. The rats are not the least bit concerned about what they claim. They want to be able to cheat and that is all it is.
Amazing and disappointing. 10 things of what is not. Why not one more paragraph telling folks what actually happens.
Voter rolls get run through the US Citizenship and Immigration Services database. This database is used to determine who is eligible for Federal benefits. The dead, illegals etc are removed. Nobody has to do anything. This database is already in use by the USCIS. I have seen estimates which shows running every voter roll through the database might take a day or two…….there is always some formatting glitches.
Can you please identify which of the enumerated federal powers under the Constitution permit the federal government to oversee, supervise, control, or otherwise manage elections in the states?
I notice the 10 reasons didn’t include unconstitutionality.
Here are the Constitutionally enumerated powers of the federal government:
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-1/section-8/
There is no valid federal power beyond these.
Sure, right here:
Article IV
...
Section 4. The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, ...
Only ten?
Is your Constitution different from mine? Because mine has more...
Article IV, Section 4:
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
Role of citizenship:
United States v. Cruikshank stated that a republican form of government includes a right on the part of its citizens to meet peaceably for consultation in respect to public affairs and to petition for a redress of grievances as well as the equality of the rights of citizens.
Protecting the integrity of the right of CITIZENS to vote is a duty, and therefore a power, of the federal government.
“ Can you please identify which of the enumerated federal powers under the Constitution permit the federal government to oversee, supervise, control, or otherwise manage elections in the states?”
Sure. It’s right here:
Section 4: Elections
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
That last half of the sentence makes it pretty clear that Congress can make any law they want about how elections are conducted.
