Democrat Rep. promises: SAVE Act will prevent women from voting
Rep. Becca Balint (D-Wa.), an unexpected but welcomed proponent of the SAVE Act — a bill currently before Congress which would restore at least a modicum of electoral integrity through such banal and common-sense policy measures as providing proof of citizenship before being registered to vote — recently made an impassioned case for the passage of the Act from behind the lectern adorned in the official seal of the U.S. House of Representatives:
The whole point of the democracy is to make it possible for people to vote because it’s the people who get to decide the policies. And republicans talk nonstop about protecting women. And you’d think, if they really believed this, that this would be a non-starter for them because it disenfranchises so many women. But as we have seen with the Epstein files over this past year, what they say and what they do are two different things.

In short, one might say, the SAVE Act would save women from the terrible political mess they’ve made for themselves and the nation at large.
Listen, Your Honor, Respected Representative of The People, Avatar of Sacred Democracy™: the high-pressure sales pitch is overkill; I was already fully on board with the SAVE Act.

(Change.org very illiberally deleted the petition on the grounds that it “is incompatible with our policies on Hate or Discrimination.” Yet the PJ Media article itself, linked above, persists in proud defiance of the gynocracy, which has not yet seized control of the entire mediasphere.)
Honorary Karen (pre-op), Sen. Dick Durbin, was asked to justify his opposition to the Act, at which time he lamented the requirement of proof of citizenship in order to vote. (At the 30-second mark, you can see what one might be forgiven for assuming is his CCP handler appear in the background to keenly supervise Senator Dick’s remarks.)

While the concept of denying more women the right to vote is obviously compelling, logistically speaking, how exactly would requiring citizens to provide proof of citizenship in order to vote “disenfranchise so many women”?
Rep. Becca doesn’t really explain in her impassioned sales pitch, at least not in the above snippet.
Apparently, one avenue of disenfranchisement would be barring women who recently got married, changed their name, and for some reason can’t do the basic paperwork required to get the whole thing squared away — which, if true, would only be further proof that perhaps they shouldn’t be trusted with such a sacred responsibility in this, Our Sacred Democracy™, as the vote.
Via Fair Elections Center (emphasis added):
- Recent studies show that around ten percent of voting-eligible citizens—millions of Americans—do not have documents to prove their citizenship. If people cannot vote unless they show hard-to-get and expensive documents in order to register, it makes it harder for citizens to vote.
- Those citizens are disproportionately likely to be young people or elderly people, but they include Americans across all political parties and demographic groups.
- Women who changed their name when they got married are less likely to have updated documentary proof.

In any case, bless Rep. Becca’s heart for setting the bitter partisanship that so often grinds the gears of good governance to a halt in Washington by reaching across the aisle to join hands with her Republican colleagues for the sake of finding common-sense solutions in the best interest of our republic.
