Won’t this work against the GOP? I would have thought that more of the 40% with passports would be from blue states than red states?

Yeah. I’d say most red voters don’t have passports

US citizens should never, EVER, have to jump through a single hoop to cast a vote. The Save act is complete and utter treason

As a European, it’s wild to me how can some people just not have documentation

Now that some states gave up their confidential voting records, there is a not-zero chance those records will be used to decide who gets a passport before the election, and whose application gets delayed or lost.

That means if they succesfully implement this, they will never claim voter fraud after a loss, right? Right? Hello?!?

No fucking way 40% of citizens have a passport. I don’t believe its anywhere near that figure. Only reason to get one is for international travel, and there are tons of people who never even leave their hometown.

How much do passports cost in the US? They’re over $100 here in Canada. This looks suspiciously like a poll tax.

And they will probably get away with it 😔

This also says your birth certificate and your passport have to match, or you have to also show your official marriage certificate, or other name change documents.
They don’t want women to vote.
With facial recognition and the databases they are collecting it’s possible to send people who are not trump supporters to a big line that will not move. Known trump supporters get right in.
They enforce the rules where they think it benefits trump.
It’s creepy how confident they seem.

If they were serious about Voter ID as a way to secure elections, they would propose a national ID that would be free of charge and issued to every single citizen, just as it’s done in countless countries around the world.
But they’re not.
First, voter fraud is virtually nonexistent. It simply doesn’t happen in numbers anywhere near enough to swing an election.
Second, Voter ID is designed to suppress the votes of minorities and thereby give republicans and advantage.

If only passport holders were to vote in elections, do you really think that Republicans stand a chance? It’s like dummymanderimg making districts from 60-40 to 52-48 thinking that won’t be hoisted on their own petard.
How many people who travel out of the country are there that are MAGA? Sex tourists? Christian missionaries? That’s not near a majority
