Congressional Republicans in both chambers are expected to revive the bipartisan "Safeguard American Voter Eligibility" (SAVE) Act, which has been supported by President-elect Donald Trump.
 
The House passed the bill last year, but the legislation stalled in the Democrat-controlled Senate after the chamber passed a different spending bill that did not include the act.

The SAVE Act requires voters to show proof of citizenship before voting in a U.S. election. Although only American citizens are already allowed to vote in federal elections, Republicans claim illegal immigrants could mistakenly register to vote when obtaining a driver's license or other benefits, per Fox News.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

This can't be about the act itself!  It makes absolutely no sense to pass that legislation while Biden can still veto it, instead of waiting until Trump is sworn in, which would be my guess as to why they are in such a hurry.  It would be great PR for voters if Biden vetoed it. :yowsa:

There's not a chance -- as in ZERO -- that this gets through the Senate so long as the filibuster remains intact...

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Romans 12:16-18
