The SAVE Act Is Dead, So Trump Issued A Royal Voting Decree
The SAVE Act is dead. Long live the SAVE Act. Trump threatened Congress and Congress lifted a middle finger, because even Congress knows that act is terrible for everyone.
However, Trump is undeterred, driven by his own rage at 2020 and constant prodding by right-wing vote suppressors like True the Vote's Cathy Engelbrecht and her pal Mrs Clarence Thomas. So on Tuesday, the "King" issued a royal decree.
Among other things, it establishes a national voter list. I'm old enough to remember when Republicans blew a gasket over Social Security numbers, claiming they'd amount to a national database. Today, no problem with a national voter database. What could possibly go wrong?
AP reports that the order, "which voting law experts say violates the Constitution by attempting to seize states’ power to run elections, is the latest in a torrent of efforts from Trump to interfere with the way Americans vote based on his false allegations of fraud. The president has repeatedly lied about the outcome of the 2020 presidential campaign and the integrity of state-run elections, asserting again Tuesday that he won “three times” and citing accusations of voter fraud that numerous audits, investigations and courts have debunked."
No, ya think?
