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.
Speak for yourself. I’ve voted in every election I’m eligible for since I turned 18 in '98. That was a midterm election. Still voted.
I consider voting to be the most patriotic thing anyone can do, followed closely by paying taxes.
Yeah that and jury duty are the specific things citizens are expected to do. Not to mention you have to be nuts to not participate when you have the privelege of living in a democracy. Citizens accept the constitution, patriots support and defend the constitution, traitors ignore the constitution.
Ah one o’ them genoside supporters eh?
(/s of course, I’m in complete agreement.)
