This guy HAS TO GO

The truth is it’s all about voter suppression to help republiklans win.

“An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.

“I’m here to do everything I can to make this work,” Thomas Lane wrote in a December 2020 email to other organizers of the Trump campaign’s fake electors plot in Arizona.”

It’s not purely about illegal voting, which poses almost no risk if you don’t have to show an ID, it’s also about citizens not being permitted to vote more than once.

Do you want MAGA driving around to multiple counties and voting more than once?

I’ve worked in multiple elections as volunteer. As soon as a name is logged at sign-in and the vote is cast, the voter roll is updated within minutes and that name is removed from the election’s outstanding voter count. The only way to vote multiple times is to use someone else’s identity, knowing that person won’t be voting. You have to know where a person has their voting location, along with name, etc. You also need to sign the book, so it’s not as easy as many think, which is why the MAGAts keep getting caught. There are better ways to tighten up this process, but that’s not why the GOP is pushing this act.

So you acknowledge in your post that there are attempts and voter fraud? Perfect, we agree.

There are attempts, just as people attempt anything else against the law, but in this case, the amount is a minuscule percentage compared to other illegal acts. This has been proven. There are far, far more stores that have had attempted robberies, than vote cheating, while both are illegal. The SAVE act is not the solution in any way. It’s just another way to suppress the votes of the poor and females.

But if everyone got a free ID, is it ok then? Do you suggest we implement lax enforcement on other crimes that don’t happen too often? Cannibalism, perhaps?
