The Democrats’ newest argument against the SAVE America Act doesn’t make ANY SENSE! Senator Elissa Slotkin stood at a podium and bragged that her party blocked the Act because it would “disenfranchise all married women” — because you’d have to show a birth certificate at the polls if you took your husband’s name. Um… just a thought. Who is more likely to take her husband’s name: a churchgoing, traditionalist, conservative woman or a liberal blue haired feminist? I don’t even think I have to answer that one. Why would the Republicans pass a bill that would disenfranchise more of THEIR voters than the Democrats? Unless… maybe, what the Democrats are really worried about is losing ILLEGAL voters. You CANNOT say a citizenship check ends your party and in the same breath swear your party is full of citizens. The whole ordinary machinery of American life runs on proving who you are: buying medicines behind the pharmacy counter, boarding a plane, renting a car, cashing a check, signing for a package. They all require ID. And married women who took their husband’s name can still do all of them. So, why is it that the ONE act reserved for citizens alone, the one the Republic rests on, is the only one we’re told should run on the honor system? These are the same people who spent four years telling you Trump and Russia stole the 2016 election. “RIGGED!” Why aren’t they the first ones in line to pass something that would make any kind of rigging harder? The only people who fear a verified election are the ones counting on an unverified one. I want the same thing for your ballot that the pharmacist wants for a box of Sudafed: proof you’re allowed to have it. And this isn’t some novel idea. We used to do this. I visited the Smithsonian recently and saw a glass ballot box from the 1800s. At the time, there was a big ballot stuffing scandal. So, Americans invented clear ballot boxes so you could actually see that the ballots cast were the ballots counted. That’s all we’re asking for here: transparency. It’s not that hard.
