Trump's Voter Suppression Bill FAILS Again In The Senate

4 Republicans join the Democrats to defeat the SAVE Act

Republican Senators Mitch McConnell (KY), Thom Tills (NC), Susan Collins (ME) & Lisa Murkowski (AK) have joined the 47 Democratic Senators to once again defeat the SAVE Act in the Senate.

Donald Trump’s SAVE Act is aimed at making it harder for people to vote in future elections, as he once again tries to subvert our current systems to maintain power.

After forcing Republican states to redistrict mid-decade (and force primary challenges to anyone who opposed him at the state level), this is the next attempt to effect the 2026 Election.

Democrats oppose the new law for a variety of reasons, including:

• Existing Laws: Non-citizens are already strictly banned from voting in federal elections under a 1996 law.

• Lack of Evidence: Opponents argue there is no evidence of widespread non-citizen voting in federal elections.

• Strict ID Barriers: The bill requires documentary proof of citizenship (like a passport or birth certificate) to register to vote.

• Impact on Citizens: Millions of eligible American citizens do not readily have these documents available when registering.

• Targeted Groups: This requirement disproportionately affects married women (who changed their names), students, low-income individuals, and military voters.

• Increased Bureaucracy: It forces local election offices to handle massive amounts of new paperwork, slowing down the registration process.

• Voter Purges: Critics fear the bill’s verification requirements could lead to eligible citizens being mistakenly removed from voter rolls.

With most elections coming down to the margins, MAGA hopes that the combination of redistricting, the SAVE Act, & intimidation of ICE at polling places in November, will do enough to suppress the Democratic vote.

As of today, the SAVE Act has failed again & I’m happy that to say that.

It’s always a good day, when Donald Trump takes another L.
