LIVE VIDEO: House Votes To Make Illegal Voting Illegal

July 10, 2024 Republicans, Trump cultists

Reuters reports:

The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives plans to vote on Wednesday on a bill banning non-citizens from voting in federal elections, a practice that is already illegal, fueled by Donald Trump’s false claims about election fraud.

House Republican leaders including Speaker Mike Johnson are backing the measure based on claims that people who cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally could cast ballots in this year’s presidential and congressional elections.

On Tuesday, Johnson claimed without evidence that Democrats are encouraging non-citizen voting

The Guardian reports:

The House will vote on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility bill, or Save Act, which would make states require, in person, documents that prove a person is a US citizen when registering to vote. This can include a Real ID, passport or other kinds of identification that show a person’s place of birth.

It wouldn’t include a standard drivers license as a sole form of identification and calls for a secondary proof of place of birth alongside it, like a birth certificate.

These changes, voting rights advocates warn, would prevent some US citizens from voting – such as those who don’t have the proper documentation or the ability to provide it in person. The bill could lead to people who are able to vote, such as naturalized citizens, college students and tribal voters, being removed from voter rolls.

At this writing, the preliminary voting is only streaming on the official US House site. I’ll add a YouTube stream if one pops up. The bill’s number is HR 8281 and at the moment Democrats are trying to send the bill back to its House committee.
