As I have noted many times.....i already have an ID to vote. It was gave to me in 1980 when I registered to vote.

With this new act I would have to jump through additional hoops to exercise my right to vote just as I have since 1980.

No.

I do not believe registering to vote in 1980 resulted in a picture ID card that basically ensures you are who you say you are. TBH, that was awhile ago and my memory isn't what it used to be, but in 1980 I had a drivers license with my picture on it, and I believe the SAVE Act would suffice to vote.

You said the SAVE Act overrides the Constitution, but I do not see how that is true. Does it not allow Congress to pass legislation that overrides state Constitutions? Obviously it does, on several issues.

In today's world, you gotta have an acceptable ID to do damn near anything. So I do not believe the actual number of people who don't already have an acceptable ID is quite low. And it's only one hoop, isn't it? Which most people already have.

In the end its irrelevant. The Constitution grants states the right to enact their own rules over elections.

While the constitution grants the states the power to determine time, place and manner of elections, it gives Congress oversight and power to override on federal elections

In the end its irrelevant. The Constitution grants states the right to enact their own rules over elections.

<~~~~~~~~~~> ​

The U.S. Constitution, specifically Article I, Section 4, known as the Elections Clause, empowers states to regulate the "Times, Places and Manner" of elections for Senators and Representatives. This means that each state has the authority to set its own rules regarding how elections are conducted.
While states have significant control over election administration, Congress retains the power to make or alter these regulations. This dual authority ensures that while states can tailor their election processes, federal standards can be imposed to maintain uniformity and protect voting rights.
State Authority: States can determine the specifics of election procedures, including voter registration, polling locations, and voting methods.
Congressional Oversight: Congress can intervene and establish federal laws that override state regulations if necessary, particularly to protect civil rights and ensure fair elections.
As an example, State, County and City Poll Taxes are unlawful by Federal Law, so Federal law can force States, Counties and Cities to require proof of Identity to vote.

In the end, voter fraud is a part of the democrat wishlist. Their supply of illegals is shrinking.

In the end, voter fraud is a part of the democrat wishlist.

They can wish all they want. Our elections are secure.

 

[Hollie]

They can wish all they want. Our elections are secure.

Except for voter fraud. Democrats are getting desperate as their hoped for supply of illegals is vanishing.

I’ve been admittedly skeptical that the current effort to pass the SAVE America Act will succeed. I want it to pass. Desperately. And from where I sit, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t pass. But we all know why something so popular and commonsense can’t get to President Donald Trump’s desk for his signature. Democrats in Congress don’t want election integrity and are fighting against it like their power is on the line.
Despite my skepticism, Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), the lead sponsor of the bill, is confident the SAVE America Act is going to pass — and after just six days of debate, Democrats may already be looking for a way out.
As you know, the bill does two things. It requires proof of citizenship when registering to vote and a voter ID when casting a ballot. Polls repeatedly show that Americans overwhelmingly support these ideas, regardless of political party or race.
And Sen. Lee knows it, too.
"Americans overwhelmingly believe that voters in the United States, you need to be US citizens," Lee said. "So our bill does two things in order to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat."
The fight right now isn't really about the merits. Let’s be honest about that. It's about the Senate's cloture threshold, the 60-vote supermajority needed to end debate and move to a final vote. Republicans don't have those numbers on their own, which means they need Democrats to break ranks. Lee's strategy is to make them do exactly that, and he's drawing on a historical playbook to get it done.
"We're using a playbook that in a slightly different form was used in 1964 to overcome a cloture gap of thirty-two votes," Lee said, referring to the landmark Civil Rights Act debate. Back then, the Senate debated for sixty days before enough votes materialized to close debate. Today's cloture deficit is far smaller. "We've got only a ten-vote cloture deficit to overcome here," Lee noted. "This is a simpler bill, and it's preferred by eighty-five percent of American voters."
~Snip~
According to Lee, the early signs are apparently promising. After only six days on the floor, he says Democrats are reportedly already hunting for an exit, which tells you something about the political pressure building around this vote.
The only secret to passing the SAVE America Act, Lee says, is time and willpower. Six days in, it looks like the willpower is holding — and the clock is doing the rest of the work.

Commentary:
We keep being told by Democrats that this is Jim Crow 2.0 or 1930s Germany.
Doesn’t matter if it passes and is signed into “law”. The problem is always enforcement. The law will have no teeth, as so many of them do not, except for punitive financial penalties which end up being just “the cost of doing business”. Its provisions will never be observed or enforced in Blue Sanctuary Plantation States, cities or counties where Democrats dominate. Democrats are a law unto themselves, and nobody ever messes with them. The U.S. Congress is no longer a solution. It’s become the problem.

Do you want DEMOCRACY or do you just want to stop poor people voting?

Are you among those the democrats insist are too stupid to get an ID?

That's the damn problem.

Democrats take control of states and immediately they change election laws that allows them to cheat and stay in power.

The Save Act is trying to prevent that.

 

[mudwhistle]

When has having an I.D. stopped anyone from voting that is doing it legally?

 

[BluesLegend]

If it doesn't pass we will remain an OCCUPIED COUNTRY.

We need to bring back detention camps for America's enemies and force the Democrats into those camps. Seizing all the wealth of corrupt Democrats who have stolen 100's of billions from taxpayers via fraud is also a good idea.

View attachment 1235354

Requiring ID to vote stopped nobody from voting for decades. Then Democrats tried to overthrow our elections with millions of imported foreign illegals bribed to illegally vote for Democrats so they could steal elections.

 

[BluesLegend]

Oh here we go, Democrats telling us married women they are too f'ing stupid to get a proper ID. Funny, I see a lot of women drinking in bars who have an ID.

Democrat's arguments are nonsensical because their position on the issues are nonsensical.

They don't care if they sound like idiots because the people that vote for them are all nasty closed-minded idiots themselves.
