SAVE Act won’t save anyone

Editor,

The SAVE Act would require proof of citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, to register to vote.

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Gin, but as I responded to your comments in the recent past, if you feel voter fraud is minuscule, then why not be in favor of the SAVE or MEGA Acts? When you use the Democrat talking point of saying these Acts will reduce the number of eligible (the key being “eligible”) voters, how do you know if you won’t verify voter eligibility? Pass the SAVE/MEGA Acts. BTW, didn’t Chuck Schumer, in 1996, demand Voter ID and proof of citizenship? He did.

As for your barrier to millions of voters, that’s a debunked Democrat talking point because anyone who is an American citizen can easily access their birth certificate, marriage certificate (with corresponding name change), etc. I notice in this letter that you didn’t mention, as you had in the past, about voters being oppressed. I guess you realized the number of voters in presidential elections increased since at least 1980. BTW, if you cite an article from the New York Times, nobody will take it seriously. Whether they’re reporting fake news or conspiracy theories or for once in a blue moon, maybe get something right, it doesn’t matter because we don’t trust the NYT or anything they write.

OK P.Gin - when more than 80% of the US citizens agree that proof is required, why are you still pushing these off the wall statistics? It is simple, the majority demands proof, that's all.
