GOP senators want to add mail-in voting limits and transgender bans to 'Jim Crow 2.0' voter ID bill

WASHINGTON — U.S. senators debated Wednesday whether the federal government should change how Americans register to vote and cast a ballot, with Republicans maintaining alterations are necessary to safeguard elections and Democrats arguing a new law would add unnecessary obstacles.

Tensions over the issue were on full display when Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said GOP lawmakers describing the bill as a simple voter identification requirement is “bullshit,” shortly before Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee contended it would be “a suicidal move” for his party’s leaders not to find a way forward.

The legislation, dubbed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or the SAVE America Act, is unlikely to become law without bipartisan backing from at least 60 senators, who would be needed to move past a procedural vote.

Democrats are not expected to help Republicans with that, especially after Schumer called the legislation “Jim Crow 2.0” and “evil” during a morning press conference with voting rights advocates.

2. easy voting

We showed Iraq how to do it- show up, vote thumb goes in a washable ,after 24 hours , ink/stain so you can't vote twice.

Bankers can track a cent in a minute and these clowns can't figure ,or want to figure it out.

If we had a constitutional house of representives of over 11,300 ,as the founders intended , none of this brought and paid for bullshit wouldn't ever get out of the house , AS INTENDED, and it also encourages voting among the population.

4. Some Kabuki Theater for our entertainment

Republicans who know the SAVE Act is dead acting as though they are fighting like hell to pass the act so that they do not incur the wrath of Krasnov in the upcoming primaries, putting on an all out show for Dear Leader.
