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.
GOP leaders are pushing the bill in the run-up to the election, after failing to attach the bill to must-pass spending measures in...

Obviously.
Joe Bidee?
We’re having vote-a-phoney, the San Francisco treat.
(”It’s always served at my house,” says Nan Pelosi, “and friends are always dropping in.”)
And transphobic. And islamophobic. And hurts “underserved and marginalized” communities hardest.
So if we let everyone in the world vote in our elections with no proof of citizenship then we’re not racists?
Sorry, I’d rather be called a racist.
Obama was the first to say that requiring him to produce a birth certificate is racist. I think that a birth certificate proves citizenship is issued free. They could be made more effective with a photo though.

Then you are an idiot.
And its racist to assume that people are too stupid to have ID.
What I despise is that illegals have state issued id’s like drivers licenses.
Oh look, Democrats are back to calling stuff “racist and xenophobic “….never saw that coming.

of coarse they do, dont f with the steal scam
American Communist rep. Jennifer McClellan (D-VA) is a TRAITOR. Most Americans, 81%, strongly support the SAVE act.
American Communist rep. Jennifer McClellan (D-VA) wants to keep the door open for cheating by 8 million (or more) illegal immigrants pouring through our open borders for that purpose.
Allowing illegal immigrants to vote is unAmerican and treason.
Biden opened the US border for a reason.
This is the reason, and this is how they plan to win in November.
My grandsons friend was mocking me for being a Trump supporter.
I asked him if his folks lock their doors at night, which they do. So why is it OK to leave the doors to the country unlocked?
He kept quiet with that question so I asked him how many imagrants his folks were willing to host at their expense?
Again crickets.
You can’t go to the DNC convention without a photo id and background check... Ironic.
The Dems hate the Constitution - have always hated the Constitution, because it does not allow them to do the things that they want to do -- like slavery, like eliminating elections, like imprisoning those who oppose them, like interpreting or ignoring laws to their convenience...
Democrats slam the bill because they want to cheat.
These DemocRats are really not stupid, but they think we are.
Xenophobic?
Isn’t that the whole point? Fear of people from other countries voting in our elections?
EC
The democrat party hates honest elections it’s why they keep the propaganda of only whites are racists going.
Hate the man who has more than you do.
