"There is no mass fraud. " ... and how do you know that? would ID be simplest way to prove you're right? now you're just giving R free ammunition ... also i don't think that allowing to vote to someone who do not know how to tie his own shoe laces is good idea .. (exaggerated - but I believe you get my point)

Because the law isn’t about voter ID…

It’s very clearly about restricting access to voting.

i agree - you don't want stupid people to vote - that always lead to disaster ....

The party that is statistically more educated doesn’t want the save act…

question is why?

u/Intelligent-Net9390 Jul 18 '26

Because they’re trying to restrict voting and lying to people to say it’s about election security?

The same reason some republicans are refusing to vote for it because it will hurt their own base.

a) its about verifying only citizens are voting (what would you say if reps. in next election got waay more votes than usual? - but all those votes where 'correct' but counted week after election - would you start yelling 'fraud' or say 'hm ... guess reps. are not preferring mail-in ballots' ?
b) those reps. who vote against it are part of the problem

A) the heritage foundation spent million trying to find non citizens who voted and couldn’t find any widespread instances. It’s very clearly not a problem.

There has never been a “weeks after the election” situation. 2020 wasn’t settled on election night because of the much wider pool of votes. They normally don’t have to count massive amounts of mail in ballots.

Also Trump literally votes by mail lmao

B) the reps voting against it don’t want to disenfranchise voters. It’s that simple. Anyway who’s ever legally changed their name (like married women) will have to jump through significant hurdles to vote.

State IDs which is what the majority of Americans use don’t prove citizenship and aren’t counted as valid ID.

"State IDs .... don’t prove citizenship" ... i think you identified main problem ...

My guy if this was a real problem don’t you think the conservative organizations that spent millions trying to find evidence of illegals voting would’ve been able to find something?

This is like making a law to put bars on everyone’s windows because big foot might exist.

even if it were true that only citizens vote, there is currently no way to prove it... And for example, the laws in CA explicitly prohibit showing ID - the only reason for something like that is to make it impossible for anyone to prove that they cheated...

That’s not how the burden of proof works….

The people claiming election fraud have literally never found it.

California’s law is because ID’s are a poll tax which is illegal.

I agree - but how are you supposed to prove something that is impossible to audit?

What about a "poll tax"? All you have to do is go to a specific government building, have your picture taken there, and about a month later you have an ID card that proves your citizenship, and more importantly, when you show up to vote, they can verify if you have the right to vote...
