2024-07-10 Since July, Republicans have been working to pass the SAVE Act, also known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act.

Clarifying the SAVE Act: Trump had repeated that the only way Democrats would win the election is if they “cheat”, so he vowed he would stop it. That’s when he started pushing the SAVE Act, nationalizing elections, seizing voting rolls, and eliminating mail-in ballots. Voter ID is different from proof of citizenship. Americans show their ID, match it up against voter rolls, and register to vote. Some states’ drivers’ licenses – like Michigan, for example – do not show citizenship status. With the SAVE Act, Americans (particularly women) would have to show proof of citizenship with a passport or original birth certificate in their original name (including married names). The new process is cumbersome, with the intent to kick as many people off voter rolls as possible.

2024-09-05 During a campaign rally in Phoenix Arizona, JD Vance said, “…There is a logic to what the Democrats are trying to do. It’s disgusting, but there’s a logic to it. They want illegal aliens to steal everybody’s job, and now they want illegal aliens to steal everybody’s vote.”

And again, whether those exact rumors turn out to be mostly true, somewhat true, whatever the case may be – Kaitlan, this town has been ravaged by 20,000 migrants coming in. Health care costs are up. Housing costs are up. Communicable diseases like HIV and TB have skyrocketed in this small Ohio town. This is what Kamala Harris’s border policies have done.

Now, you said that these are false rumors, but I’ve heard about a dozen things…ten of them are verifiable and confirmable…maybe all of these constituents are lying to me, but I would appreciate if all of the media showed up and did some real investigation rather than amplifying the worst people in the world”.
