As Michigan Democrat Sen. Elissa Slotkin sees it, passage of the SAVE America Act would “rig” elections in favor of live U.S. citizens.

Slotkin stated of the legislation which would require voter ID, proof of citizenship to cast a ballot, and clean voter rolls: “The other thing that we blocked yesterday was the Save America Act, right, which was to literally allow this administration to rig our democracy, would make it hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election.”
It’s obvious why they’re against proof of citizenship, critics say: Democrats opened the border to illegals and offered them a trove of free benefits in exchange for their devotion to the Democrat Party.
But why the opposition to voter ID? Do Democrats really believe that a large number of their voters, with a focus on minorities, somehow are unable to obtain identification? Or is the reason more sinister?
Writing for The American Spectator, columnist Soctt McKay noted: “Slotkin, the junior senator from Michigan who seems to lead the league in making statements that indicate she isn’t as smart as she thinks she is, actually said that if the SAVE America Act is passed, which would clean voter rolls and prevent foreigners from voting, it would ‘rig’ America’s elections such that Democrats wouldn’t be able to win anywhere in the country.”
McKay continued: “The most glaring absurdity in the statement is this idea that Democrats wouldn’t be able to win anywhere if the SAVE America Act were to pass. She could say something like Democrats would never be able to win a national election again, and that could well be true. She could say they’d be finished trying to win a presidential election, which could also be true, but might end up true regardless, based on what Democrats are doing to themselves.
“Instead, she chose demagoguery of a sort so far down the rabbit hole that it’s worth examining as an exposition of where we are with respect to political dialogue in this country.
“Slotkin would now have you believe that, were the bill to pass, Detroit, Chicago, and New Orleans would suddenly turn red.
“Or that California, Vermont, and Hawaii would turn red.
“Nobody believes any of that is about to happen. Elissa Slotkin doesn’t believe it, and nobody in her audience believes it. But everybody goes along with what she says because it is now a rhetorical sacrament among Democrats and the Left to say things which are plainly, performatively untrue in pursuit of some sort of advantage.”
Slotkin left out the part where some 80% of Americans support the SAVE America Act, including a majority of Democrats.
