The SAVE America Act has passed the House of Representatives. Now it’s the Senate’s turn to pass a bill that more than 80 percent of Americans agree with. But somehow, nothing is happening. One of the main talking points against the bill is that the bill will disenfranchise Americans, because there is a requirement to prove citizenship. Most Americans have Social Security cards. You need to prove U.S. citizenship or legal immigration status to obtain a Social Security card. A birth certificate is obtainable through the city records of the place you were born. Another talking point is that the majority of women change their name when they get married. That issue is easily solved by presenting a birth certificate and a marriage certificate. A marriage certificate can be obtained at the city hall of the place where you were married. Most women can figure this out.<\/p>\n
On February 16th, The Western Journal<\/a> posted an article about the discussion on CNN NewsNight about the SAVE America Act.<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n Salem Radio Network host Scott Jennings triggered \u201cCNN NewsNight\u201d panelists Charles Blow and Alencia Johnson Wednesday by suggesting Democrats thought black voters were \u201ctoo dumb\u201d to obtain voter IDs.<\/strong><\/p>\n The House of Representatives passed the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship for voter registration and photo ID for voting, on Wednesday by a 216-213 vote.<\/strong><\/p>\n After Johnson claimed that the legislation was part of a pattern of \u201cracism\u201d by President Donald Trump, Jennings challenged her to explain how the bill would strip voting rights from citizens.<\/strong><\/p>\n …Jennings pressed Johnson repeatedly how the legislation would strip voting rights from racial minorities, with Johnson finally claiming that voter ID was a form of a poll tax, which was prohibited by the 24th Amendment<\/a>, which was ratified in 1964.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cDoes it \u2014 does it concern you that you\u2019re making all these claims, you\u2019ve yet to lay out how it\u2019s hurting anyone, but 76 percent of black voters think we should show an ID to vote, 80 percent of Hispanic voters, 83 percent of the American people?\u201d Jennings asked.<\/strong><\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n Jennings didn\u2019t back down, questioning if Phillip thought certain portions of the population were too dumb to figure out how to navigate voting in an election.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cListen, this \u2014 all week long, all week long, I have heard Democrats with the same argument,\u201d he said, with Phillip responding, \u201cSo, Scott, why don\u2019t you actually respond to the substance of what I\u2019m saying, as opposed to making this about something that it\u2019s not? It\u2019s not just about voter ID. It\u2019s also about who has access to \u2014\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re saying married women, black voters and rural people are too stupid to figure out how to register to vote?\u201d Jennings responded, adding, \u201cAre you saying they can\u2019t figure out how to vote?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The simple fact is that the Democrats opposing the SAVE America Act don’t want to help people navigate the requirements in the act–they simply want talking points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The SAVE America Act has passed the House of Representatives.
