#voterid — Public Fediverse posts

So who gets disenfranchised by #VoterID laws?

"under-25s, low-income individuals, eligible #immigrant voters facing language and documentation barriers, those with gender/sexuality/marital status issues, those who were #neurodiverse, and those with #disabilities."

In other words, exactly the people the #Conservatives wanted to exclude.

> Trump pushed Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, saying that the bill “requires that all voters must show photo voter ID. How simple is that?” The bill requires proof of citizenship when registering to vote, he added. But it may not be that simple for some voters. Election experts say the bill would make it difficult for some to register and cast a vote. ...

Under the bill, Americans would need to prove citizenship when registering to vote or changing their registration. For most people, that would mean presenting, in person to an election official, either only a U.S. passport, or a certified birth certificate along with a driver’s license or other government-issued photo ID. Election experts have raised concerns about millions of Americans not having a passport or ready access to their birth certificates, and the bill creating too many hurdles to cast a vote.

Dear _______,

Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns regarding the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. I appreciate your taking the time to do so.

The SAVE Act, which was introduced by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), would amend the National Voter Registration Act to require proof of United States #citizenship when registering to vote. It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections, but this legislation would establish means for confirming citizenship, require states to establish a process for removing noncitizens from voter rolls, and create federal penalties for knowingly registering a noncitizen to vote in federal elections. It would also establish an alternative verification pathway for individuals who lack proper documentation but are, in fact, United States citizens. The SAVE Act has been referred to the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, on which I do not serve.

Should the SAVE Act or similar legislation concerning federal elections be considered by the full Senate, I will review it carefully. Again, thank you for contacting me.

Sincerely,

Susan M. Collins
United States Senator

Even #DHSBarbie is chiming in! #WhiteSupremacist!!! Oh, and I think they quoted her wrong. I believe what she said was that "to make sure we have the WHITE people voting, electing the WHITE leaders.' "

"Secretary of Homeland Security #KristiNoem doubled down on her assertion that her department assists in election security Sunday, telling critics that they were creating fake outrage after she asserted the 'right people' would elect 'the right leaders.'

"Over the weekend, lawmakers, democracy advocates and political commentators raised alarm bells at Noem’s claim that her department, which oversees domestic security and immigration, played a role in safeguarding elections 'to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders.' "

Number 14 - #FraudulentElections!

"Sometimes elections in #fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by #SmearCampaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control #voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections."

Voter ID!

Is requiring ID to vote common sense — or voter suppression? Righty Jim mocks Democrats for calling Voter ID racist, and Lefty Al fires back that it’s a red herring — a political sleight of hand designed to suppress Democratic turnout. You decide!

#MaineQuestion1 is a good reason to vote in an "off-year" election (you know, when the sneaky types try and pass shit!).

#Mainers like #AbsenteeVoting. Question 1 would make that option harder.

The November referendum has been framed around requiring #VoterID, but it also includes a host of changes to absentee voting.

Rachel Ohm, August 24, 2025

Excerpt: "#MaineVoters have come to increasingly rely on absentee or #MailInBallots — a practice that is routinely targeted by #Republicans politicians as rife with potential fraud, even though evidence doesn’t support that.

"During last year’s presidential election, almost half of all votes cast were absentee. The latest citizen-initiated proposal would make that more difficult.
If passed, it would prohibit voters from requesting absentee ballots by phone, and would require older Mainers and those with disabilities to renew their eligibility each year. The proposal also would limit the number of #DropBoxes municipalities are allowed to have and prohibit them from including prepaid return postage."

In case you were in any doubt about who is disproportionately affected by Republican-driven laws that voters have i.d. in order to vote, wonder no more:

"Black Americans and Hispanic Americans are disproportionately less likely to have a current driver’s license."
