Most Americans support the idea of voter identification, polls say. But voter identification is not really what the #SAVE America Act is all about, according to #Democrats & #election experts who oppose it. (Its full name is the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act.) They say it’s about disenfranchisement. They say that it could hand the #Trump admin data it could distort to claim widespread “voter fraud” when #Republicans lose races.

The #law is unlikely to pass there, given deeply felt opposition from #Democrats who can block it with a filibuster. #Republicans lack the 60 votes they need to overcome one.

#Trump insists they pass the law anyway, even if they have to kill the #filibuster to do so. Trump has vowed that he would refuse to sign any other legislation until the bill was sent to his desk. He has called the measure his “No. 1 priority,” saying it would “guarantee the midterms” for his party.

Voter fraud almost never happens in the #US. Still, in order to “prevent” it, #Trump is pushing #Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act, an #ElectionLaw that would, among many provisions, require people to show photo identification to #vote [proof of citizenship].

It’s a solution in search of a problem — a solution that narrowly passed in the #House last week & is now under debate in the #Senate.

What’s in Trump’s SAVE Act, the Voter ID Bill Republicans Are Pushing?

The legislation would require voters to prove their citizenship in person upon registration, ban IDs without a photo at polling places and criminalize failures to enforce such requirements.

>> Democrats passed #Obamacare, free meals for hungry schoolkids, the infrastructure act, healthcare subsidies, etc...Meanwhile the leftists have passed what? Nothing.

None of #Biden policy "wins" are durable because of his failure to punish #Trump. He protected Trump just as #GOP would have, and does:

Though #Smartmatic machines were used in only one #US county during the #2020election — Los Angeles, which #Trump lost by more than 1.8 million — the company has remained a target for Trump & his allies, who have claimed without any evidence that the election was rigged.

“Since returning to office, President Trump has openly waged a campaign of retribution against his perceived enemies — chief among them those who undermine his mantra that the 2020 election was rigged,” attorneys for the company wrote in a court filing Tuesday.

“Put simply,” they added, “the charging decision is consistent with an administration that prioritizes targeting its enemies over equal protection under the law.”

The company also contends that #FoxNews & others #Smartmatic has sued for #defamation for statements about the firm’s voting machines are exploiting the criminal case in their defense.

While such defense claims are notoriously difficult to win in court, they have gained traction with federal judges as the #DOJ under #Trump has increasingly used its authority to target the president’s political foes.

A voting machine company at the heart of #ConspiracyTheories about the #2020election accused the #DOJ Tuesday of bringing a criminal case against it to further Trump’s baseless claims about that vote.

The parent company of London-based #Smartmatic asked a federal judge to dismiss foreign bribery charges filed against it last year, alleging they amounted to little more than a vindictive & selective prosecution.
