SAVE Act won’t save anyone

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.

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.

If your are dumb enough to think voting still matters - I have a big orange bridge in SF to sell you. Only $20

If the SAVE act were to start tomorrow, it would cause current registered voters to show their passports or birth certificate to their elections office in order to vote in the next and future elections. About one in ten don't have as easy access to these documents, as you and I do, for various reasons, and it places hardship on those who must travel long distances or who are not mobile including people in rural areas. And the administration of elections should be preserved as the Founders saw it--in the hands of the states.

Showing a valid ID to vote is one thing and giving proof of citizenship and showing ID is another. I have not seen the poll but I suppose it asked “Would you be in favor of showing an ID when voting?” To change it to would you be in favor of the SAVE act, it would have to be something like: “Are you in favor of showing a picture ID at each election and re-registering to vote by proving your citizenship in person at your local elections office, amending the Constitution by taking power away from states to administer elections and give it to the foxes guarding the henhouse?” For MEGA, add “and take away mail-in ballots.” I don’t think there would be quite the favorable response.

This time they got it right, but Mr. Y is right about the NYT. They published the Warren Report after all and are the CIA’s number one media asset.

No thanks on the bridge for sale. Anti-fascist researcher Dave Emory put the last two elections this way, “Would you rather have a chicken-fried steak dinner at a chain diner or a plate of broken glass.”
