WaPo Admits Many Democrat Voters Can’t Prove They’re Citizens:
Not a single Democrat in the Senate is willing to support the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, and a new op-ed from The Washington Post might just explain why.
The SAVE America Act would amend the 1993 National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) to require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote and voter ID to cast a ballot in federal elections. The current “safeguard” preventing noncitizens from registering to vote and voting is a tiny square box on the federal registration form asking applicants to attest they are telling the truth about their citizenship status. In other words, the honor system.
The legislation passed the House (with a single Democrat voting alongside Republicans) but has stalled in the Republican controlled Senate, with a few RINOs and the entire Democrat apparatus opposing the election integrity legislation.
But perhaps Democrats are opposed to the common sense election integrity measure because the legislation would endanger New Mexico and turn the battleground of Nevada into a solid Republican state, according to analysis from Yale Law School Professor Ian Ayres and Yale research fellow Jacob Slaughter.
The two explain in their op-ed that they estimate at the national level, “89 percent of Democrats and 90 percent of Republicans hold qualifying citizenship documents, a difference that is not statistically significant.”
That seemingly meaningless 1 percent difference, however, would actually be state-flipping, according to Ayres and Slaughter.
“But because the composition of the electorate varies across states, national parity masks meaningful state-level variation — and what we find, looking state by state, is that the bill may significantly advantage Republicans in a few key ones.” --->READ MORE HERE
4 Noncitizens Charged For Allegedly Voting As SAVE America Act Stalls In Senate
The thing that never happens happened again!
Four noncitizens were charged on Friday for allegedly “illegally voting in federal elections and making false statements applying for U.S. citizenship,” FBI Director Kash Patel announced. The suspects allegedly voted in the 2020 presidential election, 2022 midterms, and 2024 presidential election cycles.
The arrests only underscore the need for the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act. The SAVE America Act would amend the 1993 National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) to require documentary proof of citizenship in order to register to vote and voter ID to cast a ballot in federal elections. As of right now, the only thing standing between a noncitizen and casting a vote is a tiny square box on a federal registration form requiring an applicant attest under penalty of perjury that they are telling the truth about their citizenship status (in other words, the honor system).
The legislation passed the House but has stalled in the Senate. Just recently Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) claimed on X that Senate Majority Leader John Thune was “no longer considering the SAVE America Act.” A congressional source, however, told The Federalist’s Matt Kittle that Luna’s comments were “not true” and that the legislation is “still the pending business in the Senate.”
Punchbowl News’ Andrew Desiderio reported that Thune said he would see “about getting [the SAVE America Act] going” “if we don’t have other pressing stuff in front of us that has to get done.” --->READ MORE HERE
