      Now they just have to defeat the Voter Suppression Bill, and we’re good to go. To the midterms.

      „Senate Democrats refuse to entertain the idea of adding poison pill to SAVE Act“

      If this amendment passes, then when they vote down the SAVE act, those commercials are going to flow like crazy. Right now its just voting down an amendment and wanting it to be standalone legislation.

      >Schumer stood up on the floor to slam Husted’s proposal as another attempt by Republicans to suppress votes in the upcoming midterm election.

      >“Republicans have an amendment on the floor dressed up as common-sense voter ID. This is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and it’s a giant cover-up, which is voter suppression, kicking people off the rolls without their knowledge or consent,” Schumer said.

      >“The point is not about voter ID. In fact, 99 percent of the SAVE Act doesn’t have to do with voter ID,” he claimed.
      …
      Schumer also criticized the amendment for requiring voters to submit photocopies of IDs when submitting absentee ballots, arguing it would infringe on voters’ right to secrecy.

      >He said that voters would **“have to add a photo ID with their ballot, so the election officials would up the envelope and could see how you voted.”**

      >“The sacred secrecy of our ballot would be undone by this amendment,” he said. “Anyone who voted by mail would have to put a voter ID inside the envelope, and the board of elections would have to open it up and see how you voted,” he added. “It would violate basic privacy.”

      Yeah, no.

      As someone quite unfamiliar with US Election Day formalities – how is identification currently done? Why is this such a hotbutton issue?

      Damn, now what else can we do to make it illegal for non citizens to vote besides the law that is currently already in place preventing this!!

    7. BigHungryFlamingo on

      It’s already required at the time of registering anyway. 

      This is such a nasty piece of shit bad intentioned bill. The people proposing it couldn’t pass a citizenship test. Guaranteed. Neither could most ICE agents.

      If they want photo ID to vote, stop trying to force it 6 months before every single election, and stop making it a transparent effort to disenfranchise legitimate voters.

      It can be done without causing a huge fiasco, but they don’t want that.

      It’s up to states, not the federal government, to run elections. That’s what the Constitution says. A federal law requiring photo IDs to vote is unconstitutional. Thankfully, one political party bothered to read the Constitution.

      How about this: If an illegal alien wanted to stop you from voting they could steal your documents!!!

      Senate Democrats defeat Amendment to disenfranchise legal citizens from voting in fair elections**

      There, fixed it for you

      well I guess we could all tell what side the fence the hill is on.

      What a way to mislead people with that headline

    16. GravityPantaloons on

      I already had to show my ID in New England.  What was the problem??

    17. innnikki on

      Does anyone know the names of the republicans who voted against the amendment? It doesn’t say in the articles I’m seeing, and I’m struggling to navigate the senate.gov website

    18. csteinbergrules on

      I have greater hope of us remaining a democracy now. Still a lot of work to be done, but I’m more optimistic than I was before.

      This is one of the dumbest things I’ve read all week.

      What is the point of mailing in a copy of your photo ID? What are they going to compare it to? Are they going to drive back to your house and look at your face? It’s functionally equivalent to not including the stupid copy.

      Rest assured if this was a vote close to passing, Fetterman would’ve been first up to vote with the Republicans.

    22. Scharmberg on

      Read that as defend and was like of course, so happy that wasn’t the case.

      Again, The Hill shows its bias using misleading headline.

      I’m married and I have a ReallD drivers license Will this be accepted as proof of US Citizenship?
      With the exception of 5 states (NY. WA. VT.MI. MN) Your Real ID will not be accepted as proof of citizenship when registering to vote
      NO

      Will my birth certificate provide proof even though it shows my maiden name?
      Proof of citizenship cannot be verified by your birth certificate if the name does not match
      NO

      Will my marriage license provide this proof if I bring it with my birth certificate and ReallD?
      Since marriage licenses do not specify citizenship you would need to bring a passport or active military ID with papers.
      NO

      I’m alreadv reaistered to vote. I’m I guaranteed that I won’t have to re-register?
      As the bill currently stands, there is no requirement to notifiy you if your name is removed from existing registration database

      That is such a bad summary of the “Save America Act”. It does so much more than “require voter ID”. It would completely upend elections in this country and throw the whole system into chaos.

      Please keep this and any similar laws defeated before November 2026. Please.

      But reddit had assured me the Democrats were secretly in league with Trump, or was it that they weren’t doing anything, or was it that they were controlled opposition? 

    28. Erratic_-Prophet on

      It’s not „photo ID“ it’s ID that proves citizenship, which is basically just a passport. Misleading title.
