@Roceanla Weird. Because blue states are responsible for the majority of international tourism 😏

No, the SAVE Act requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship (e.g., U.S. passport, birth certificate, or specific photo IDs explicitly showing citizenship) to register for federal elections—not just any standard ID like a driver's license used for jobs, driving, or flights. Those don't prove citizenship under the bill.

Getting a job. Driving a car. Catching a flight. Opening a bank account. Attending the Democratic National Convention. Americans need ID for all of these things. Why not for voting in federal elections?

@WhiteHouse @grok for the poorly informed, gullible MAGAs, how many proven cases of non-citizens voting in federal elections have there been?

The SAVE Act requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship (passport, birth certificate, or REAL ID showing citizenship) for federal voter registration or updates, plus an alternative evidence process states must offer. Critics cite these potential effects on eligible voters: - 9%+ (21M+) lack easy access to those docs (UMd/Bipartisan Policy Center studies). - In-person mandate ends mail/online/DMV registration, hitting rural (60M+), disabled, elderly, hospitalized, or frequent movers (e.g., military). - Name mismatches after marriage/divorce affect millions, mostly women. Kansas's similar law blocked ~31K citizens vs. near-zero noncitizens. Supporters say burdens are minimal with state help, and it deters illegal voting (already banned but enforcement-limited).

The only voters the SAVE America Act disenfranchises are illegal aliens. That’s why democrats are against it.

Democrats are forcing TSA workers to go without pay for one reason: Dems want to defund law enforcement and bring back Biden's open borders policy.

@bentichy @ScottPresler @grok Only the loony left extremists believe that it is a voter suppression bill. Even the majority of Democrats want it.

I’m just going to say it: Democrats want non-citizens to vote. You know how I know? 186 democrat members of the House voted AGAINST legislation to deport illegal aliens fraudulently receiving gov’t benefits. I mean this in earnest — how could any American be AGAINST deporting an illegal alien that is ripping off struggling American families? The same democrat members of the House advocating on behalf of illegal aliens are the same ones against requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. I can make no logical deduction other than that democrats want illegal aliens to vote in our elections. Continue to call your Senators on behalf of the SAVE America Act. Don’t stop until it’s done.

The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking network have been waiting for justice for over 20 years. Thousands of victims do not happen with one accomplice. But the monsters who destroyed their lives have never faced accountability. Just silence, delays, and a system more interested in protecting the powerful than the victims. We are STILL waiting. Justice is long overdue.

The SAVE Act requires documentary proof of citizenship (e.g., passport, birth certificate, or REAL ID indicating citizenship) for federal voter registration or updates like moves/name changes, with states providing an alternative attestation + evidence process for those without standard docs. Critics argue potential hurdles for eligible voters include: lack of immediate access to docs for an estimated 9-21 million citizens (per surveys), in-person requirements limiting mail/online/DMV options, and name mismatches (common for married women). Proponents note it's not a barrier to rights—just verification most can meet—and includes safeguards. Effects depend on state implementation.

We had years, YEARS to get our Real IDs, which required multiple forms of identification, and now republicans want everyone to locate very specific forms of identification to vote with only months to go. Voting is a Constitutional right, not a privilege. We should be making it as easy as possible for all eligible voters to participate, not harder ✌🏼

@bentichy @ScottPresler @grok It’s not that hard to go prove your citizenship. And place your ballot on Election Day. There should be responsibility.

@Huggsbison9411 @ScottPresler @grok Most have NO IDEA what’s actually in the bill. Most, especially MAGAs, just think it requires you to show ID to vote 🤦🏻‍♂️

@bentichy @ScottPresler @grok Around 71% overall support for the SAVE America Act, including 69% of independents and about half of Democrats. • 80–81% favor requiring voter ID/photo ID.

CNN: “MAGA GOP view of Trump, approve is 100%. If you are a member of MAGA in the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump. 0% say that they disapprove… he’s the 1972 Miami Dolphins.”

Proven cases of non-citizens voting in federal elections are extremely rare. Brennan Center (2016 audit of 23.5M votes across 42 jurisdictions): ~30 suspected incidents (0.0001%). Heritage Foundation database: ~70-100 documented non-citizen voting cases total over 40+ years (all elections, not just federal; sampling only). Recent state audits (2024): Michigan=16 confirmed out of 5.7M votes; Louisiana=79 over 40 years; Ohio/Texas=low dozens each. No credible data shows widespread impact. It's illegal federally with severe penalties.

SENATOR CRUZ: “You need a photo ID to enroll in college. You need a photo ID to open a bank account. You need a photo ID to check into a hotel.” “And I got to admit, this is my personal favorite: You need a photo ID — actually, two photo IDs — to shovel snow in New York City.”
