thundergrace:Republicans and their influencers keep calling the SAVE Act a “voter ID law”. They use polls exclusively on “voter ID” to claim it’s popular. Voter ID is a popular common sense voting policy that requires a state ID to vote. It’s already a thing. No one has a problem with that. The SAVE Act, however, is NOT a “voter ID” requirement. They know if they spelled it out no one would support it. During Kamala’s campaign when she was seemingly doing well with women due to the reproductive rights platform issue, men on the right were going all in on “we need to repeal the 19th amendment”And here’s one of the earliest bills proposed. As usual, they’re throwing immigrants under the bus to get it done. They’re claiming millions of undocumented immigrants vote in national elections when it’s illegal and a lie (when challenged on the matter, a pundit once claimed 77 undocumented immigrants voted in the last ten years. This is the best they can do). They’re using that lie to justify disenfranchising 70 million women and anyone who can’t afford a passport, pretty much. It costs money to replace an ID, get a copy of your birth certificate and obviously to buy a passport.This is a poll tax.
