    *The House speaker is unable to share even one real-life example of voter fraud that the SAVE Act would have stopped.*

    What about that time a non citizen mayor voted republican?

    Or that republican who filled out and sent his dead mother’s ballot?

    Or the multiple incidents of republicans getting caught trying to vote multiple times?

    Or that whole thing with Elon?

    Or when Governor Youngkin’s (R) under aged son tried to vote for his dad?

    There’s lots of examples of voter fraud, almost all of it from Republicans. And they get caught, because the system works and it’s pretty hard to get away with voting multiple times.

  3. I’ve got one for him! The Republican in charge of elections in Indianapolis decided we only needed one early voting center as a city of ~1m even though the wealthy suburbs near us got one in every other nursing home. That decision right there probably shifted more votes than all the fake votes of the last 30 years combined.

    Oh, is that not the sort of fraud they meant?

    The real fraud is trying to convince voters that we have an actual voter fraud problem.

    I love him, he has single-handedly discredited his whole soft-assed fake-macho nativist blood-and-soil horseshit fake-Christianity for what it is. No one will take his monstrous distortion of Christian faith seriously going forward, thank Christ.

    The last gasp of White Christian America. The last wet fart of their fading fake faith.

  6. If you are going to push a claim this serious, you need concrete examples ready, not hesitation on camera

  7. I know the answer! Easy one, it’s Donald “I just need you to find me 11,780 votes” Trump.

    Republicans call out voter fraud but when we investigate it or it’s caught by the system it comes back on Republicans committing fraud 99.99999% of the time.

  9. “voters would have to produce a passport, passport card, or certified birth certificate.”

    All of these cost money to obtain. Sounds like modern version of a poll tax, prohibited by the 24th Amendment and extended by SCOTUS to include state/local elections.

  10. The 90% approval polls they keep mentioning apparently are people who agree that “ID should be presented when voting.” But no one really has issues with THAT part of the bill, it is the REGISTRATION that is the issue — requiring a passport, birth certificate, needing to traveling in person even in huge states where that means a 4 hour drive, no notice or way to to check if you have been removed from the voter rolls, etc. Combined with the rush to get this bill approved with no actual way to handle the logistics it requires in time for the midterms, the chaos it will cause, etc — which of course is primarily the point I suppose.

    Only voter fraud in the last 20 years has been committed in favor of the GOP.

    We need to drive home the simple concept: the whole reason they want to fix what isn’t broken, is because they want to break it.

    The constitution specifically makes election control a local thing, and for good reason: so even if someone manages to commit fraud locally, it can’t be scaled to the national level. Nationalizing it is unconstitutional, stupid and dangerous.

    The video doesn’t show him struggling to name anyone. In fact, he doesn’t even try to name anyone, and he does it with confidence. How about instead of these stupid fucking titles just be truthful.

    “Watch Mike Johnson avoid answering yet another question”

    >This is a 90–10 issue in public opinion polling

    Why are all of the self-professed “Christians” such compulsive liars?

    The rate of fraudulent votes is **0.003%** at the **upper end**. It is commonly *less* than that. Republicans are trying to disenfranchise tens of millions of voters for made-up reasons to install a one-party dictatorship.

  16. I can give an example of disenfranchisement if the SAVE nobody Act passes: I work at the DMV, someone came in to apply for a real ID. Federal requirements call for a US birth certificate or passport as an identification document, she had a US birth certificate. Since her current name didn’t match her birth certificate name, I told her she had to bring marriage certificates accounting for every name change in order to use her birth certificate as her ID document. Maybe you keep marriage certificates from long-ended marriages, she certainly didn’t and asking a 70+ year old to navigate a state records website to order a copy rarely ends well. These are costs a man never has to incur no matter how many times he gets married and divorced.
