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.
To everyone saying people needed to wait until the mid-terms to take action: Fuck You.
This mandates government registration to access an essential right of a citizen in a democracy. Ask for the same thing for gun ownership though and the right would lose their minds.
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.
Weren’t conservative white women and “trad wives” blamed wholesale for Trump’s 2024 win?
Shouldn’t this be giving Democrats a collective erection?
The db0 shitters wanted this. The ml shitters wanted this.
They want an excuse to see fires and blood. They want an excuse for violence. And they’ll throw everyone else vulnerable into harms way first to get their shot at an imaginary revolution. They play the disinformation game to get their own way.
Don’t trust them. Don’t believe them.
We the people need to rise up. Our entire government is compromised and occupied by criminals and Zionists who have “legalized” their criminal behavior at our expense
Nobody in the US says “Zionists”. You are an outside agitator.
Fuck off, Zionist scum
Again, you are not an American. We dont talk like that.
We don’t? Says who? You? Your bubble?
I live in the PNW and am surrounded by progressive people and hear “Zionist” used as a perjorative for fasciast frequently. Hell, I could easily go into a local coffee shop or bar and find a sticker that will have a “fuck zionists” message on it. Hell, one of my best friends is of Jewish heritage, and is the biggest critic of the Zionist movement I know, to the point where he even attends a moderately sized local synagogue that’s also critical
So obviously there are US citizens in the PNW that use that language. But I’ll be sure to tell them that according to some random internet gate keeper of the American English dialect says they don’t talk like an American.
First, I will repeat … no one really talks like that in the US. Second: You all have GOT to be bots or idiots, because I dont think the word zionist means what you think it means. A Zionist is a person who supports the movement for the development, protection, and self-determination of the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, Israel. Originating as a late 19th-century nationalist movement, Zionism advocates for a Jewish state, a goal achieved in 1948, and remains a core ideology for many Jews supporting Israel’s existence.
How the fuck is a zionist a fascist? Because Palestinians call Israelis zionists? Yea, if you run in middle eastern circles you might hear it, but 95% of the US doesnt talk like that. It is what it is.
This is your attempt at internet tough guy trolling? Do better.

Nothing better to do than rezz a week old thread? There is no way you are in the US.
provide photo ID when they cast ballots.
Does this mean mail in voting is dead?
Also, the party of state’s rights everyone.
The key requirement in it requires you to have ID with the same name as proof of citizenship. Because women frequently change their name when they get married, it means that they won’t have matching documents, and won’t be able to vote.
Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to vote against it.
Photo ID makes sense, if the country has this allready in place. In Belgium everyone over the age of 12 has one and it’s all you need to prove identity. And since it has a electronic chip, you can use it to handle quite a lot of official administration through the internet.
This is the United States, so they’re imposing a requirement that somebody not just have a state-issued photo ID, but have a birth certificate or passport which matches their current name. It’s very common for women to change their name when they get married, so the net effect if this passes is to prevent tens of millions of married women from voting.
Republicans want that because women are more likely to vote for Democrats than men.
Last election several individuals committed voter AND election fraud. They were all Republicans.
Let’s see ‘em in the comments if you’re inclined to display them.
More recently there’s a mayor of some town (
in Texas, iircKansas) that’s facing deportation and multiple felony charges for voting in elections as a non-citizen.I’ll link to the story posted on lemmy if I can find it!Found it! https://lemmy.ml/post/43029958
