      its sad how many people look at this SAVE crap as common sense. I read this and see that it says an ID that shows citizenship….. Only a passport fulfills that requirement. So that means everyone that doesn’t have one has to gather a bunch of docs that they have hidden away and bring them to someone that may just say they are fake and you weren’t born in Hawaii…. obviously this birth certifcate from 1950 is fake, it doesnt have a watermark or a hologram…. sheesh!

      It’s the only way they can win is to cheat. Everyone knows this. Trumps polling numbers are in the toilet due to an unpopular war, Americans getting shot in the streets, and gas at $4.00 a gallon. When you back a candidate of unfathomable stupidity and absent morals – you got to rig the game to win.

      I am convinced that this headline purposefully lacks nuance. I take any headline coming from CBS with a huge grain of salt these days.

      As someone who actually works as a poll worker. The SAVE Act will disenfranchise people. Here in NC the state lowkey already sets people for failure.
      Edit: typo…

      Better headline: Bill to require a $165 passport to vote is rejected by common sense.

      >Schumer said it would require people who vote by mail to include a photocopy of their ID with their ballot, which would eliminate the secrecy of how someone voted.

      >Husted accused Schumer of misrepresenting how the mail-in ballot process would work. He said voters would include a photo of their ID or the last four digits of their Social Security number on the outside of the secrecy envelope containing the ballot. The information would be validated to ensure that it’s from a registered voter before separating it from the ballot, which would be counted separately, he said.

      Narrator: „It would, in fact, *not* be separated.“

      I’m sorry does this mean it actually is dead? I know they’re meant to vote today but it seems like this changes twice a day.

      Jk I see it was killed as an amendment. Still need to turn down SAVE act

      The bigger problem with this bill that isn’t being talked about enough, is that it makes states share their voter info with the federal government. And it allows monthly purges of the voter rolls without notifying the person being purged.

      The post title is being awfully generous to the bill. It does way more than that.

      “It’s common sense”

      Sure, mike, but so is taxing the rich, but you ain’t doing that any time soon.

      I can get on board with ID to vote if we provide free IDs with little to no barriers to obtain.

      Voting is the foundational right that cannot be infringed.

    16. pomonamike on

      CBS, that’s not what the bill said. That’s not a good-faith summation and you know it.

      It is appalling that this got this far and that so many of you reading this fell for this so hard.

      It is not „common sense“, not today in March 2026.

      It is an effort at *mass voter suppression* based on „voter fraud“ lies perpetuated by the President. Baseless nonsense.

      It would disenfranchise millions, possibly tens of millions of voters on order to save 3 from misvoting in Kentucky.

      Shame on every single liberal who is still taking any of this on good faith. We can discuss modern voting practices another time when it’s not an autocrat openly intending to end the republic.

      The SAVE Act is not gonna pass. The Trump admin knows this. It’s not supposed to.

      Its purpose is midterms. Once the House, Senate, or both starts to flip blue, Trump will cry “cheating!” and “this was why the radical left didn’t pass the SAVE Act!”

      As for the maga base, most our too obtuse to realize that America isn’t going to pass a bill on election security from a criminal that tried to cheat at an election.

      Our country’s voter participation levels are pathetic. We should do everything possible to make it easier, not harder, for Americans to vote. Republicans do not want Americans to vote because their policies are cruel and incredibly unpopular.

      make election day a national holiday – that should be what is being proposed

      Story time: I got a job in Houston as a web developer and graphic designer for a small agency. They had some existing clients where it was mostly retainer work like updating small elements, putting up new templates, etc. One of the bigger customers was a group called „The King Street Patriots“.

      I would be asked to make small updates like adjust image templates for new banners, add new properties to event pages, etc.

      I was not political at all and I barely paid any attention to the content but the very little I paid any attention to made sense to me: If someone is going to vote there should be mechanisms to ensure they are who they claim to be – sounds good.

      At some point, I was asked to attend an annual summit hosted by them featuring „Breitbart“ (I had no idea) so I could be on hand to assist with the website – adjusting information and assisting with embedding recordings of speakers, etc.

      I think it was the second organizer I was introduced to while setting up at a little A/V desk that made my stomach flip. He quickly went into the issues with „Illegals“ and „Mexican criminals coming over and being paid to vote“ etc. Throughout the day, some speakers kept it vague – others were either blatantly racist and/or clear they wanted to disenfranchise people.

      I had to stay for the event, but told my boss afterwards I would not be working on that client’s website again nor attending their events.

      If ID is required to vote, getting the necessary ID to vote should be super easy, barely an inconvenience to get with no financial requirements.

    24. Jazzlike-Context-879 on

      I agree with voter ID, if they agree with universal healthcare and a safeguard that it cannot be touched for 20 years.

    26. 1klmot on

      Wish the media would stop saying it just requires photo ID. Many states‘ citizens have already shown their proof of citizenship to get their Real ID, which this new bill does not consider valid photo ID to prove citizenship. This is much more than „requiring a photo ID“

    27. jpastrychef on

      It’s not clear if they want to make everyone re-register to vote in that bill also. There is nothing stating that if you are already registered that you are grandfathered in. The SAVE act if passed is meant to cause chaos and confusion just as we are getting close to the midterm elections. It has ZERO to do with making any election safer or legitimate especially this midterm election. Trump is desperate to keep as much power as possible and he will be a lame duck if this election is fair.

    29. _DapperDanMan- on

      Everyone proves citizenship when they register to vote.
      This is a poll tax, and suppression in one.

    30. TheBatemanFlex on

      The voter fraud is a non-issues. The only thing concerning about our elections is that republicans have been simply projecting when they cry foul about anything, and this is the one thing they cry loudest about. So the most recent election results, comments made leading up to the election (plus the fact that republicans have tried to subvert the democratic process in the past) does make you wonder.

    34. NGM012 on

      There has been less verified fraud in federal elections since records have been kept than the number of felonies he has.

    35. buried_lede on

      The he headlines don’t do justice to how diabolical this bill is. They make it sounds like we’re against showing our IDs. 

      This bill would upend half of our IDs and screw us in Nov

    36. suk_doctor on

      If they want to pass this then make passports free for all US citizens, expedited, and automatically issued based on your most recent tax return address. Otherwise fuck off.
