It’s voter suppression, disenfranchisement, racism, misogyny. It shouldn’t even f****** discussed or considered possible. Without representation, I might as well do whatever the f*** I want to whichever person in power thinks they deserve to be there. It’ll be f****** revolution.

If you don’t have representation, you shouldn’t have to pay taxes

Won't have to pay taxes once you're out of the workforce.

aquestionofbalance Mar 29, 2026 +1

Yes, you will. If you receive unemployment you will have to pay taxes on that. I know this from when I was laid off I was fortunate enough to be able to find a job within three months.

You’ll still pay taxes on anything you buy, like food.

joke's on them, there's no money for food either

Exactly. Can the average Joe afford to miss a days work to drive 40 miles to the booth?

What about the bill is Misogynistic? I'm reading through it and can't figure out what you'd be referring to?

Specifically it would make it so married women would have a much more difficult time voting if they took their husbands last name.

Wouldn't this disenfranchise Republicans more than Democrats since that would push rural voters to drive further and they tend to lean redder than the average voter? No one should have difficulty reaching their polling place.

It doesn't matter for them. The more of us who vote, the more they will lose. That's the math, and tells you everything you need to know about their relationship to democracy.

Not really in some areas. Iowa here and the more rural you go the more they keep the polling places no more than 30 minutes drive or so. They shut down a few in my urban area, but its a social thing out there going into town. The early voting hes got weaved in could, but I have no doubt he'll somehow weave it that rural has exceptions.

The new laws won't be enforced in Republican areas, duh.

It would seem that way and I’ve had similar thoughts. But I don’t think the rules will be enforced the same way in rural or very red areas. ICE, or whoever they choose to “protect” polling places will probably not care if Billy Bob’s wife has her birth certificate, name change documents, etc. They will care if folks like me do at our urban polling places. It will be at their discretion. In rural areas, the lines to vote also won’t be very long because the populations are much smaller. I think they’ll be doing Musk aided digital cheating like they did in 2024. The SAVE Act is a smoke screen. People will expect the vote results to affected by the new rules so they can get away with cheating because of all the “voter fraud” they stopped. On it’s face, it already makes zero sense since we have all always had to produce documents to prove our eligibility when we register to vote. They’re just making it more complicated to excuse the unprecedented results they will fraudulently create.

I would personally think needing a passport or birth certificate would, I know very few rural people who have passports - and getting that is a multi-month process they would have to start soon... ...and the birth certificate thing would make it impossible for a majority of women from those areas

They’ll pick and choose where to enforce it

Isn't there a law a polling place has you to be within X miles from every citizen So mostly will hurt Dems

SAVE Act = voter suppression with extra steps. Trump wants to win so badly he’ll inconvenience everyone except his base

rbourbon Mar 29, 2026 +8

But will still mail in his vote.

That moron doesn’t realize the people that vote for him will be exactly the people that are going to be suppressed

oliversurpless Mar 29, 2026 +1

Yep, especially as the last few midterms (and their canards designed to familiarly depress turnout) didn’t exactly work out…

Korgoth420 Mar 29, 2026 +8

That is the point: obstruct voting to SAVE Trump’s criminal Machine of money and child molesters.

Inquisitive-Sky Mar 29, 2026 +7

Note that this article and map aren't about polling places but how far you'd have to drive to find an elections office where you could prove your citizenship in-person as required to register to vote. Turns out those of us out west with enormous counties are in for a long haul.

The only thing the SAVE Act is attempting to do is to save Donald Trump from electoral wipeout.

The save act is 100% about cheating. Their goal is to reduce voting accessibility so they can easier cheat. Republicans found it was harder to cheat and kept getting caught cheating when there were too many people involved. Their goal is to streamline voting so less people are involved with counting votes which makes it easier to cheat.

gbsparks Mar 29, 2026 +3

There is simply no way to legitimatize the so-called "Save Act" as anything other than a way to suppress voting participation. Period. The only thing we can do, as democrats, small d, is...what? What line has to be crossed before "we" realize that peaceful protest alone is not enough. I'm old, so I wouldn't necessarily be part of this active resistance, but I do know that I would do as much as I could to support it. And that is where we are at, people, like it or not. How do we put pain into the process of resistance and insist that these facists feel it more deeply than the rest of us who didn't ask for it in the first place?

NapsInNaples Mar 30, 2026 +1

Don't forget that there are 9 millionish americans who live outside the US, and are still required to pay taxes. That puts us in a position of having to get a flight for potentially thousands of dollars in order to vote.

AINonsense Mar 29, 2026 +2

That’s the plan. Most of those particular voters would have a few things in common…

I hate the SAVE act but this is bad data. The west coast is fully vote by mail so they have very few elections offices. If this were actually implemented most those places would be forced to open a lot more precincts.

WhenSummerIsGone Mar 30, 2026 +2

isn't the supreme court on the verge of outlawing vote by mail?

There are some things I just don't get. I live in Spain, and you can handle practically any administrative procedure online. You can even apply for an ID card at the police station in your own town. Is the U.S. some kind of third-world country?

SAVE Act would mean long drives for millions of American voters
