The Save Act

Horse’s mouth? Why is it just the dems who are against this? If it’s such a bad thing, wouldn’t other people say it’s bad?

What’s sad is that real Americans are trying to find ways to keep “outsiders” out of our elections. One would think the dems would be on board with that notion since they spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying to prove Russian collusion. So if Russians had made a mass migration into the US under Biden’s open border policies, they could vote, but let them “influence” our elections, the dems would cry foul. Someone make that make sense.

Real Americans know “outsiders” don’t affect US elections. Our elections are cleanest and safest in the world. Trump has done in 10 years what the Soviet Union couldn’t do in 80. Destabilize our trust in democratic systems. The worst president in history, hands down. Headed for one of the worst leaders in world history if something doesn’t check him.

Terrible rebuttal. The indoctrination of our youth has taken some years to be effective, that is true, but the communist takeover is happening. Look at Mamdani's NYC and Newsom’s California. People fleeing to capitalist states, especially the filthy rich.

So are you claiming that I am not a "real American"? 

I really thought free speech and opinions were as American as Apple Pie....

It is no different than made up terms to justify bad behavior, I'm sure the right has some, but at the moment I can only thing of a few from the left. 

Riots that ended with setting a police dept on fire, injuries and taking a city block hostage for weeks = "mostly peaceful protest"

Voter Fraud/Voter Fraud convictions = "no evidence of widespread voter fraud"

People see through it, that is one of the reasons Trump won a second term....

That's interesting, especially when reading what Hillary Clinton has to say about it.

"Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton argued Wednesday that Russian meddling in the 2016 election in large part cost her the White House..."

That's a direct quote from the way left "news" outlet NPR in June 2017 explaining why the Democrat candidate claims she lost the bid for the presidency. It seems, contrary to your claim, that it was due to outsiders meddling in our election process. 

I wonder what you said about clean safe elections after Trump beat Hillary.

How funny this poster is all about a free America and everyone is welcome.....yet throws out the "REAL AMERICANS" as a backhanded jab.......

That is what identity politics will do for you

Same as I do now. I’m talking voting, not foreign government interference.

Got my new Texas DL today. It’s slicker than owl poop on a sycamore limb. Has a hologram state of Texas on it. Duh gee Tennessee, I hope I can vote.

Under the SAVE Act, you will not be allowed to vote.  
 

If you’re required to re-register, you’ll also need to also present a birth certificate or valid passport because the Texas DL doesn’t proven citizens, just residency. As the Act is written, only five states currently have DLs that prove citizenship.

The good news is that the act doesn’t trigger an automatic need to re-register… so if you were already registered illegally, you won’t be affected by the Save Act. Genius in its own way, I suppose. The next time you have to re-register, you’ll need to provide the extra docs. But you’d best hope that your registration wasn’t one of the ones rejected by the state last fall.

The scary part is this… Trump said that the democrats can’t win a single race without cheating. I have to assume that he believes that. If he has the federal government seize control of elections like he also stated, I believe that he would immediately order all people who have ever voted in a Democratic primary to re-register, forcing them alone to bear the expense and headache of re-registering in hopes that they won’t be able to vote.  The first part is fact, the second is my opinion.  
 

If our last election was free and fair, then why is this new legislation so imperative? He intends to weaponize it, just like he’s done with the DHS, FCC, DOJ, SEC, etc…

Already posted that I “re-registered” about 10 years ago and obtained my “real” license. It’s difficult at my age sometimes, but some of us do try to keep up.

According to the attached fact check, you’re only required to re-register if you’ve had a ‘qualifying event.’ That would be something like a name change, change of address, or something like that. That would seem reasonable to keep voter rolls up-to-date.

Some other good questions/answers as well.

It’s called being responsible. Do democrats really believe we are all equal?

One side of their mouth:  WE ARE ALL EQUAL

Other side of mouth: VOTER ID IS TOO HARD FOR MINORITIES AND WOMEN🙄

…. And that “Real” license is inadequate to prove citizenship as required in the SAVE Act. 
 

I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.

Had to present my birth certificate and the whole US was supposed to have done this, so what’s to understand?

“While your REAL ID would count as a photo ID when voting, in only a few states would it be considered proof of citizenship. Only five states — Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont and Washington — offer the type of enhanced REAL IDs that explicitly indicate U.S. citizenship.”

 

Go look at your shiny new license and see where it stipulates that you’re an American citizen…. It doesn’t. The problem is that your ID looks exactly like the ones that the state of Texas issues to non-citizens.  You can use it as photo ID on Election Day, but you can’t use it to register or re-register to vote.

NY real ID has the same requirements to prove citizenship. Make me understand that.

Texas just decided to not include the formatting of a citizenship line in their REAL ID TDL’s.

Doesn’t matter. Unless you change your name or move, you’re already registered to vote. All you need to be able to vote is a photo ID. In this case, your new TDL is fine. You don’t need anything else.

I think Ol Dawg just covered it.  Your Texas ID as a citizen is identical to that of a non-citizen.  And unless there’s a reason to re-register, like… the state purging thousands of names from the roll in Texas, like they did this fall, or you move, or change your name… you shouldn’t need to re-register. 

My gut feeling is that with the save act and a federal takeover of federal elections, Trump would immediately order that all democrats must re-register. If you think about it, we’ve all said that your situation shouldn’t trigger a need to re-register… but the same would be true of the millions and millions of (imaginary) people committing widespread voter fraud… they’d be grandfathered in like you are.  The headaches of re-registering (cost, time, aggravation, and potentially losing the right to vote) would land solely on the Dems, hopefully securing an illegitimate win for the Rs. Why else would he be pushing so hard? The Rs won both chambers of congress and the presidency less than two years ago… but now fixing voting is more important that any other issue in America, according to Trump?

It’s a move towards authoritarianism, in my opinion.

Why do you go out on a limb with your hallucinations? If I have to re-register, no problem. How can clearing the voter rolls only affect the dems? Your posts show signs of insecurity.
