The GOP’s sweeping new anti-voting bill cleared the U.S. House Wednesday, setting up a high-stakes battle in the Senate.
The House voted 218-213 to pass the SAVE America Act, which experts have said could disenfranchise millions by requiring voters to show documentary proof of citizenship at registration and to provide photo ID when they cast ballots.
Republicans have argued for voter ID broadly, pointing out that there isn’t much to prevent a noncitizen from casting a ballot in a federal election — besides the fact that it’s a felony, easily caught, and would lead to deportation all for the chance to cast one out of hundreds of thousands of votes.
The GOP voted to take away the rights from almost every married woman in the country, think about that for a second and you’ll understand why they even made the SAVE act.
They claim it’s about immigrants, but it’s truly about taking away the right to vote from people the GOP doesn’t like. So if you aren’t a rich, white, male, you cannot vote under GOP rule.
I wonder how much of the push behind this is from asshole men worried that their kinder wife is secretly voting against the republicans.
I think what’s funny is that if they did get that, they’d never win another election again. Literally the only pro-republican voting block is undereducated white men. If you locked out anyone who didn’t have a passport, dems would have a supermajority across the country.
Not really they win white woman in whole swaths of the country too. Just not as high, white men it is really high though like 65 pc or something.
No, they didn’t. This isn’t going to be enforced in heavily Republican districts where women are loyal conservative voters.
Yeah, they did. How it may or may not be enforced has no bearing on whether or not they voted for it. Which they did.
When they need to catch up, or find votes, they will go around removing dem district votes with stuff like this.
Weren’t conservative white women and “trad wives” blamed wholesale for Trump’s 2024 win?
Shouldn’t this be giving Democrats a collective erection?
They might’ve gotten a lot of shit, but the reality is that women and lower-income people, those who will be most affected by the bill, are a core of the democrat voter base
