The Save Act

Is there anyone on here who has ever had a problem voting due to ID verification? That’s what I thought. So it’s been this way for years, now it’s a problem. Why? Can you still vote? Why the concern for anyone else? Have they had trouble voting? Nope. Some of you like to argue a stupid point when it really has no effect on anyone. You’ve always been selfish and never cared for anyone before now, why mess with your record? If you care about illegals voting then you’re not an American….plain and simple.

Okay…. Here’s the scenario.  The save act passes and you don’t really care. You’re an American and you’ve been voting for years.  You show up to vote and they tell you that you can’t because you’re not registered. And it’s too late to register for this election.  Are you happy?

Same scenario, except you realize that you’ll need to re-register in person at least 30 days prior to the election. No worries. You show up at the voter registrar and they let you know that you’ll need to prove citizenship… and your TX DL doesn’t prove citizenship.  You’ll need a birth certificate or passport. So you and the Mrs head off to vital statistics to buy a copy of your birth certificates at $10 apiece.  When you get back to the voter registrar, you’re good to go.  Except Mrs Baddog’s license doesn’t match the birth certificate that shows her maiden name. So she has to go to the county clerk to buy a copy of her marriage license that shows her receiving the Baddog Surname. Return to the voter registrar only to find that the marriage license doesn’t have her maiden name, but instead has the last name of her first husband, whose name she kept because it’s the same name as your stepchildren. So she has to find a marriage license and divorce decree that will document those name changes at substantial cost of time and money. By now she’s missed the window to register and can’t vote, even though you can. Are you happy?

 

Repeat after me… proving citizenship isn’t the same thing as producing your ID. Can you find your birth certificate before you register to vote next time?

Lets undo the 2024 election since it was rigged

Anyone who has had to get a new Driver's License in the last few years had to show either a birth certificate, or a passport. You had to have proof of citizenship to get a new license with Real ID.

Yes… and this will be harder than what you dealt with at the dmv.  
 

Why are you okay with the federal government taking away the right to vote as afforded in the constitution?

It’s only rigged when they lose.

CB, it’s been years, ten I think, but when my TEXAS license was up for renewal, I had to provide my birth certificate and SS card to renew. If I remember correctly, it’s why the little star is now on my license. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but my license was scanned when I voted. It insures that I am who the license says. Gee, I thought my white privilege would allow me to bypass this inconvenience. Lol. It’s called a real ID and everybody has to do it.

You had to have proof of citizenship to get a new license with Real ID. Since--as I understand it--the States will still set the rules for acceptable citizenship verification, any Texas resident with a driver's license after 2016 should be in the Real ID system in Texas verifying their citizenship. Maybe, Texas will allow that to suffice. I haven't heard a definitive one way or the other yet since the Act hasn't even passed.

Sorry, I didn’t see your post.

Read my edit. Then, I'll respond if I need to. Besides, where in the Constitution are you guaranteed the right to vote? Please point it out to me.

No problem. I was editing still anyway.

Some of y'all really need to brush up on the Constitution.
