Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is intensifying pressure on Senate colleagues to advance the SAVE America Act, a Republican-backed election integrity bill that would mandate proof of citizenship to register and a photo ID to vote in federal elections.***"The longer we wait, the harder it'll get to pass the SAVE America Act," Lee wrote Sunday night on X. "Senate Republicans should rip off the Zombie Filibuster next week."***"By requiring Voter ID and proof-of-citizenship, the SAVE America Act will ensure that our federal elections are decided by U.S. citizens — and U.S. citizens alone."Under current Senate rules, most legislation cannot be voted...

@BarronTNews_ BREAKING: Americans are FLOODING the phones of GOP Sen. Susan Collins after she REFUSED to support the SAVE America Act following House passage

Executive summary The SAVE Act would force applicants to present “documentary proof of United States citizenship” at registration and the bill explicitly lists acceptable documents including REAL ID-compliant state IDs that indicate U.S. citizenship, U.S. passports, birth certificates, and certificates of naturalization or citizenship (Congress text) [1] [2]. Advocates say these documents close a perceived verification gap, while critics warn the list excludes common IDs like standard driver’s licenses and would block millions who lack those specific papers (Campaign Legal Center; Brennan Center) [3] [4].

Reminder that the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of Americans support voter ID requirements. Don't let elected Democrats gaslight you into believing any different. The only reason you would oppose voter ID is that you want to CHEAT. Pass the SAVE Act!

The only people worried about ICE at the polls either shouldn’t be at the polls or are benefiting from the votes of people who shouldn’t be at the polls.

A vast majority of Americans — including Democrats and ethnic minorities — favor requiring photo identification (ID) to vote, according to an analysis from CNN Senior Data Reporter Harry Enten.The data undercuts claims by some Democratic lawmakers that voter ID laws are broadly unpopular and intended to disenfranchise non-white voters.Speaking during a Feb. 3 segment on CNN, Enten cited recent Pew Research Center surveys showing 83% overall support for photo voter ID requirements. Support has remained consistently above 75% since 2018, the data suggest. 🚨NEW: CNN's Harry Enten: "A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country. It...

Top Democrats House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have sparked backlash after demanding that taxpayer dollars not be used for immigration enforcement operations near "sensitive locations," including polling places. Which, of course, begs the question: Why would there be elevated concerns about the presence of illegal aliens at polling places? Democrats' DHS Demands Spark Outrage: Why Shield Polling Places from ICE Enforcement? Jeffries (NY-8) and Schumer (D-NY) sent a letter to Republican leadership on Wednesday, demanding reforms to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) immigration enforcement as part of ongoing funding negotiations. Their list of...

Currently, Trump is the only one who can make the SAVE Act happen, yet he seems to have no interest in doing so. Recently, I wrote a piece that received some pushback. I wondered if Donald Trump was making the same mistake as George Bush Sr. did when he broke his “Read my lips: No new taxes” pledge. If you read my work regularly, you’ll notice a decidedly clear bias towards warnings of doom. It’s not my default position that life is nothing but doom and gloom. On the contrary. I actually have a website that explicitly talks about how...

Democrats have spent years insisting illegal immigrants do not vote, yet Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just gave the whole game away. In a letter to GOP leadership, they demanded a slate of “reforms” to immigration enforcement as the price for funding the Department of Homeland Security, including targeted enforcement, no masks, mandatory use of body cameras, and other demands, several of which I suspect are nonstarters. I don’t see Democrats getting anywhere with these, but the big thing is that buried in that list is a rather revealing demand: Protect Sensitive Locations -...

The U.S. House of Representatives will vote next week on a new bill that would require all states to check both citizenship and photo identification before allowing voters to cast ballots, combining two widely popular election integrity provisions and ramping up pressure on a Senate that has been unwilling to consider either mandate. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, confirmed in an interview Wednesday evening with Just the News that the vote will be held next week for the Save America Act, which combines the two requirements that have passed the House individually but not...

A federal judge on Friday struck down key portions of President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at tightening citizenship verification for voter registration and absentee ballot applications, ruling the White House overstepped its constitutional authority. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said the Constitution gives states and Congress, not the president, the power to set rules for federal elections. Kollar-Kotelly blocked provisions in the executive order that would have required documentary proof of American citizenship on federal voter registration and absentee ballot forms. "The Constitution does not allow the President to impose unilateral changes to federal election procedures," Kollar-Kotelly wrote, permanently...

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are proposing sweeping changes to the nation’s voting laws, a long-shot priority for President Donald Trump that would impose stricter requirements before Americans vote in the midterm elections in the fall. The package expected to be released Thursday reflects some of the party’s most sought-after election changes, including requirements for photo IDs before people can vote, proof of citizenship and prohibitions on universal vote-by-mail and ranked choice voting — two voting methods that have proved popular in some states. The legislation faces a long road ahead in the narrowly-split Congress, where Democrats have rejected similar...

With Democrats pushing a number of progressive policies now that they are in control of Virginia, a Virginia state Democrat is working to ban immigration agents from operating near polling places. Democrat Virginia Del. Alfonso H. Lopez introduced the bill, which has been described as a “safeguard.” The bill, HB 1442, would amend the Code of Virginia to prohibit law enforcement from “any act for the purpose or in furtherance of enforcement of federal immigration laws” within 40 feet of a polling place. The move has left Republicans wondering why a Democrat would move to prevent immigration law enforcement at...

Two Senate Republicans on Wednesday rallied behind the House-passed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote for federal elections. The new push comes amid pressure from conservative figures, including Elon Musk, and as the Trump administration pushes states to clean up their voter rolls to eliminate potentially illegal voters ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Republican Sens. Katie Britt of Alabama and Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania announced they are now cosponsoring the legislation, which was introduced by GOP Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Rick Scott of Florida, last...

A federal judge Thursday dealt a significant legal setback to the Trump administration in its efforts to obtain voter data held by states. In a 33-page order, U.S. District Judge David O. Carter in California dismissed a lawsuit that sought to give the Justice Department access to the Democratic-led state’s voter files, including records like Social Security numbers and driver’s license information. California is one of 23 states, along with Washington, D.C., that the Justice Department has sued for refusing to hand over the voter data. The lawsuit against California was filed in September. “Clean voter rolls are the foundation...

For everyone in politics the only thing that matters is hanging on to power. It’s interesting that our liberal friends are all fainting this week because of the death of Renee Nicole Good on January 7 at the hands of an ICE agent during a “peaceful protest” where she was using her SUV to block ICE operations. Almost exactly five years ago on January 6 our liberal friends had no problem with a Capitol police officer shooting Ashli Babbit as she climbed unarmed through a broken window into the Capitol in an “armed insurrection” against the United States government. What...

James Woods: Republicans have the Presidency, Supreme Court, Senate and the House. But we have no voter ID law. Taxpayers are being defrauded by the millions. Republicans do NOTHING.

In July 2022, The Gateway Pundit reported on testimony given in a federal complaint that was filed by Kari Lake and Mark Finchem in the US District Court in Arizona. The complaint was a civil rights action for declaratory and injunctive relief to prohibit the use of electronic voting machines in the State of Arizona ahead of the 2022 Midterm Elections. That complaint included testimony from a former Voting System Testing Labs contractor by the name of Clay Parikh. Parikh would go on to discover the 19-inch ballot printing error that plagued the Maricopa County 2022 midterm elections, causing massive...
