SAVE Act: About

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.
