"House passes Save America Act, Trump-backed bill to impose new voting rules
Bill that requires proof of citizenship and would limit mail-in voting passes 218-213 but faces uphill battle in Senate
(. . .)
The Save America Act, introduced by Chip Roy of Texas this year, expands on changes to voting laws in the 2024 bill, adding a nationwide photo ID requirement to vote, with a list of acceptable identification that is stricter than many states that already have voter ID requirements. Student IDs are explicitly not allowed.
(. . .)
The Southern Poverty Law Center estimates that 21 million Americans neither have a copy of their birth certificate nor a passport. Those potential voters are more likely to be poor or people of color, the organization says.
'We’ve got to look at this in its totality,' said Rebekah Caruthers, president and CEO of Fair Elections Center. 'The whole point of this is to restrict who gets to vote in this country.'"

Nellie McClung: A Leading Figure in the Suffrage Movement 🇨🇦
Nellie McClung was a prominent Canadian feminist, politician, and social activist. As a member of the Famous Five, she fought for women's suffrage and other social reforms. McClung's tireless advocacy played a crucial role in securing the right to vote for women in Canada and advancing gender equality. ♀️🇨🇦 #Canada #NellieMcClung #Suffrage #CanadianHistory
The SAVE act has been passed by Congress but has yet to be introduced on the senate floor. There are 278 days until election day. The SAVE act will be something that the GOP deploys between now and November 3rd. Voter disenfranchisement is a multi-pronged attack.
