The SAVE Act is being framed as “election security.”
But critics say it could quietly make voting harder for millions of eligible Americans.
Here’s why people are paying attention.

Missteps suggests mistakes, as in oopsies. Patel's erasure of #Trump et al is as purposeful as it gets. You'd think the #NYT would understand the difference between a blunder and malevolence. Their language has created a safe space for fascism and rape.
The United States has:
770,000 homeless people
15,000,000 vacant homes
and
535 members of congress, who can't seem to find any solution to this problem.
"AI can make mistakes, always check the results"
I fucking loathe this phrase and everything that goes into it. It's not advice. It's a threat.
You probably read it as "AI is _capable_ of making mistakes; you _should_ check the results".
What it actually says is "AI is _permitted_ to make mistakes; _you are liable_ for the results, whether you check them or not".
Except "you" is generally not even the person building, installing, or even using the AI. It's the person the AI is used on:
