Bad Humans: SAVE Act (H.R.8281)
Well, Congress is battling it out again to pass a budget, and facing yet another shutdown. House Republicans want to hold American people hostage with their petty shell games.
Attached to the Fiscal Budget is this garbage piece of legislation, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX-21) and co-sponsored by 104 Republican scum in the House.
This bill will essentially:
Require voters to present proof of citizenship in the form of original birth certificates and extra documentation beyond our already established state-issued IDs.
Require military personnel to return to the U.S. to provide said evidence of citizenship in order to vote.
If your driver’s license doesn’t match your birth certificate (i.e. anyone who has a name change for any reason), you will be restricted or face many hurdles to register to vote. Got married? Transgendered? Adopted? Not a natural born citizen? Indigenous? The list goes on and on…
There’s a bunch of lambasting language to restrict non-citizens from voting, but those guardrails are already in place - so it’s just word salad at this point and they’ve added a bunch of unnecessary shit to this bill to waste time in the House.
While I think this will ultimately be stripped down to nothing, it is apparent that this is another day at the office for House Republicans attempting to stalwart the election process. You can read the whole shitshow here.
I’m sick of these fucktards. Thought of the Day: “Voting prevents unwanted Presidencies.”
