Voter identification rules are just like Civil War racist exclusion laws, according to Democrats who denounced and voted against the GOP’s SAVE Act bill on the House floor.
“This is the 2024 version of the Jim Crow poll tax and we should vote against it,” claimed Rep. Jennifer McClellan (D-VA) as she denounced the bill, which requires people to prove their citizenship before casting a vote for Democrats or Republicans.
In the 1800s until the 1960s, many people were denied the vote when they did not pay the flat “poll tax” on individuals living in a jurisdiction. But McClellan is determined to disinter the bones of historical racism for Democratic advantage in 2024, saying:
This bill is essentially a poll tax, because I am not aware of a single proof of citizenship document that does not cost an individual money to get it [and] unless we are requiring every state to provide one for free … it’s an unfunded mandate.
In McClellan’s state of Virginia, individuals pay a trivial sum — $4 per year — for driver’s licenses, and $2 per year for simple identification cards. In contrast, political campaigns spent $14 billion to sway 154 million voters in the 2020 election — or roughly $90 per voter.

President Joe Bidee’s staff has promised to veto the bill if it passes the House and Senate.

“In contrast, political campaigns spent $14 billion to sway 154 million voters in the 2020 election”
Closer to 40 million voters, 30 million if they write-off Ohio, and 20 million if they also write-off Florida. The rest of the country is ‘non-competitive’, unless Trump’s play for Blue States becomes a serious threat.
So too gender and sex.
The existence of many illegal migrants in U.S. cities helps Democrats build an emergency reserve of ballots via fraudulent registrations. Those illegal ballots can later be smuggled into the ballot boxes via mail-in voting and drop-off boxes, and even by illegal migrants who personally cast votes in low-security jurisdictions, said William Gheen, founder of the ALIPAC movement for tighter border security.
He told Breitbart News:
What will happen is that people [Democratic operatives] will be dispatched through unions, non-government organizations, Democratic Party auxiliaries, private contracting firms, and probably even the [smuggling] gangs themselves. They are all going to be given marching orders and lists and directives on how to go about this [ballot-creation campaign].
…
I think they’re going to try to deliver many of them through the mail. They realize that sending the illegals directly into the poll [stations] on election day is more likely to get them caught or be observed by pesky Republican poll watchers. So [vote by] mail is the safest way for them to do this.
Since 2021, Biden’s deputies have imported at least seven million migrants, many of whom are now sheltered, fed, and protected by federally-funded non-profit groups in cities where Democrat politicians control registration and voting rules — and also control the police force that can choose to not enforce voting laws.
“They’re going to sit the [migrants] down and say, ‘Joe Biden says it’s okay, [Barack] Obama says it’s okay, and if you don’t want to get deported, you need to do this,’” Gheen said

I want to become a volunteer to support the 2024 Democratic National Convention.
I consent to the Chicago 2024 Host Committee and the Democratic National Convention Committee using my information to conduct a comprehensive background check (including, but not limited to, providing my information to relevant law enforcement agencies).
I understand that the Chicago 2024 Host Committee and Democratic National Convention Committee do not guarantee volunteers lodging and/or transportation.
The ONLY reason to oppose this is to make cheating easier.
They are all traitors and should be prosecuted as such.
They are evil morons.
I did not know “foreign national” was a race.
All the Congress critters voting against this will be breaking their oaths of office, assuming they even have such an oath on file. (Surprisingly, many don’t.) If they don’t, the following is made even simpler.
SCOTUS has a case to consider Congressional oath breakers
and oath-abstainers before it—Brunson—even at this moment.
SCOTUS could choose to act on this case within very few days. Doing so could remove oath violators from Congress with immediate effect.
SCOTUS vote could be 7-2 or just might be 9-0.
Color of illegal aliens is not the problem. People of all colors in the US who ARE citizens do not approve of other countries determining our leaders, our laws and how our tax money will be spent.
The GOP has been handed the greatest congressional 2024 campaign gift imaginable.
Surely, they’re going to take full advantage of it.
3 Hispanic/Latino members of the Democrats’ own caucus voted for it - are they racists and xenophobes as well?
How is it racist and xenophobic to only want US Citizens, who are also alive, to vote in our elections?

Remind me about the REAL ID law that requires actual government issued ID. Oh yes, we have delayed the implementation of that year after year after year. Why is that? It is because Democrats don’t want to have government issued identification that actually means you are who you say you are. They agree that it is necessary to prevent another 9/11, but they have to delay it because too many illegal aliens need government ID for various entitlement programs.
I don’t really understand what proof of citizenship must be provided and when.
Upon registration? While voting?
Birth certificates? Passports?
Seems like a mess to implement and I’m in favor of the idea of getting Democrats on the record against it. It doesn’t seem realistic without more time to implement safeguards, however.
I with a republican rep would propose all forms of ID are no longer required. If the dims refuse to have ID’s for voting, then ID’s should not be required to board a plane or buy a gun or buy alcohol and for any other reason. Make them defend that.
Here’s hoping.
Democrats need to put a sock in it.
I am so sick of their rhetoric and misrepresentations.
Voter ID to ensure only eligible CITIZENS vote is NOT racist or xenophobic.
Their position is TREASON!
