The GOP’s sweeping new anti-voting bill cleared the U.S. House Wednesday, setting up a high-stakes battle in the Senate.

The House voted 218-213 to pass the SAVE America Act, which experts have said could disenfranchise millions by requiring voters to show documentary proof of citizenship at registration and to provide photo ID when they cast ballots.

Republicans have argued for voter ID broadly, pointing out that there isn’t much to prevent a noncitizen from casting a ballot in a federal election — besides the fact that it’s a felony, easily caught, and would lead to deportation all for the chance to cast one out of hundreds of thousands of votes.

The GOP voted to take away the rights from almost every married woman in the country, think about that for a second and you'll understand why they even made the SAVE act.

They claim it's about immigrants, but it's truly about taking away the right to vote from people the GOP doesn't like. So if you aren't a rich, white, male, you cannot vote under GOP rule.

    No, they didn't. This isn't going to be enforced in heavily Republican districts where women are loyal conservative voters.

    Weren't conservative white women and "trad wives" blamed wholesale for Trump's 2024 win?

    Shouldn't this be giving Democrats a collective erection?
