You can’t do anything in this country without an ID, yet the progressives do not want this bill to pass and will do everything possible to stop it. Why? Voter fraud would be eliminated, and that would destroy the progressives’ chances at the polls, but would benefit both Democrats, like John Fetterman, and Republicans. Trump is standing tall on this because we have a couple of out-of-touch Republicans who don’t believe in voter ID. The question is why? Are they in the back pocket of someone? Most politicians are in one way or another, but normally from people of the same political persuasion. I’m not sure about these GOP members. All IMO.
“President Donald Trump told House Republicans on March 9 again to pass his Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, as it remains held up in the Senate. He said it should be Republicans’ main focus heading into the midterms later this year.
Trump spoke from his Doral, Florida, golf club at the House Republicans’ annual policy retreat, telling lawmakers that clearing his elections bill through the Senate with new provisions could prevent Democrats from retaking Congress’s lower chamber this year.
“I’m making my biggest plea tonight … it’ll guarantee the midterms. If you don’t get it, big trouble, my opinion,” Trump said.
The bill would mandate that all voter applicants provide proof of citizenship in person at their local election office, such as a valid U.S. passport and a government-issued photo ID alongside a certified birth certificate.
The House passed the SAVE Act in February and sent it to the Senate, where it has stalled. Due to Senate rules, it would need to clear the 60-vote filibuster threshold to pass, meaning multiple Democrats would have to break party lines to push it over the finish line.
Democrats have criticized the legislation, saying that it would disenfranchise certain voters, particularly poor Americans who might lack a driver’s license and may struggle to afford a government ID.”
