The GOP’s “Show Us Your Papers” Bill Is the Latest Effort to Help Trump Take Over Elections
The Republican-controlled US House is set to pass a new version of the SAVE Act, a sweeping voter restriction bill that would require people to show citizenship documents to register to vote and strict forms of photo ID to cast a ballot, potentially disenfranchising tens of millions of Americans. The House consideration of the new […]
They have been trying to pass #SAVEAct for years. And yeah, #UselessSusanCollins authored one of the early versions, along with #MartinHeinrich (D-NM). With #Democrats like that, who needs the #GOP?!!!
SAVE Act
Securing America’s Voting Equipment Act of 2017
"U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, introduced bipartisan legislation to protect American election systems from foreign interference. The Securing America’s Voting Equipment (SAVE) Act would help safeguard voting systems, registration data, and ballots from theft, manipulation, and malicious computer hackers
The SAVE Act would:
"Designate voting systems as critical infrastructure for the purposes of the
Department of Homeland Security (#DHS)." [Oh yeah, that sounds like a GREAT f*cking idea... NOT!]

#GOP Sen. #LisaMurkowski comes out against #Trump's #ElectionBill, with a warning to her party
The Alaskan reminded her fellow Republicans that they claimed to oppose any new #FederalElectionLaws just a few years ago, insisting that the issue should be left to the states.
by Sahil Kapur, February 10, 2026
WASHINGTON — "Sen. Lisa Murkowski became the first Republican senator to speak out against the SAVE Act, a sweeping election bill backed by President Donald Trump that would require proof of #citizenship to vote nationwide.
"In doing so, the Alaskan reminded her colleagues on Tuesday that they roundly claimed to oppose new federal election laws as recently as Joe Biden’s presidency.
" 'When Democrats attempted to advance sweeping election reform legislation in 2021, Republicans were unanimous in opposition because it would have #FederalizedElections, something we have long opposed,' Murkowski said in a statement. 'Now, I’m seeing proposals such as the SAVE Act and #MEGA that would effectively do just that. Once again, I do not support these efforts.' "

A federal judge in Michigan, appointed by Trump, has blocked the Trump-era Justice Department’s attempt to access the state’s voter rolls, ruling that Michigan was within its rights to refuse sharing personal voter information. Judge Hala Jarbou dismissed the DOJ’s claims that such data was necessary to prevent ineligible voting and voter fraud, aligning with similar rulings in Oregon and California that rejected efforts to create a national voter database. These decisions reflect increasing judicial resistance to the DOJ’s efforts to gather detailed voter data ahead of the upcoming midterms, signaling legal hurdles for the administration’s broader push to compile comprehensive voter information.

Feb 9: Black Women Organizing (1920) 🖤📜
Before the ballot was ever guaranteed, Black women were already building power.
Long before laws caught up, organization led the way.
And that truth still stands today: power is built between elections—through education, solidarity, and showing up every time.

The House is set to vote THIS WEEK on a new variant of the anti-voter SAVE Act, now rebranded the “SAVE America Act.” Don’t be fooled by the name, this bill keeps the worst provisions of the original SAVE Act and makes them even more extreme.

Are you a #woman? Are you one of 90% of women who have changed their name when they got married? Then, the party that Made Pedophiles Great Again and brought you the horrors of this regime, would like you to not vote any more.
If the #SAVE Act goes through, a vast, vast percent of married women will not be allowed to vote in upcoming elections.
Have I mentioned lately that Congresscritters are not nearly as afraid of us as they should be. We see the collaborators for who they are. Disenfranchise us at your own peril.

Dear Senator/Representative -
President Trump has called for Republicans to “nationalize the voting.” This is a direct threat to constitutional governance, and your constituents need to hear you defend the Constitution loudly and repeatedly.
I’m not arguing policy. At issue is a fundamental question of whether we'll honor the constitutional structure that delegates election administration to the states. That authority cannot be seized by executive fiat or even congressional action; it can happen only by amending the Constitution itself.
The pretext for this power grab—claims of widespread voting by non-citizens—has been thoroughly debunked. A Brookings analysis of Heritage Foundation data reveals the truth: for example, in a 25-year period in Arizona, 36 fraudulent votes accounted for 0.0000845% of ballots cast across 36 elections. Voter fraud is not altering election outcomes.
The federal government, via laws and court rulings, has limited authority over federal elections. Our state and local officials run secure elections. What we urgently need are leaders willing to say so publicly and to draw a clear line against unconstitutional federal overreach.
Will you honor your oath of office and commit to speaking out against efforts to centralize election authority in defiance of the Constitution?

States Control Elections and Donald Trump Hates That Reality
The Constitution makes one thing clear: states control elections. Donald Trump’s obsession with federal control shows he does not understand or respect that fact.https://thedemocracyadvocate.com/2026/02/states-control-elections-trump-constitution/
Precisely why we can’t fight our way out of fascism at the ballot box. If elections were fair, we’d stand a chance. But they’re not.
This list of corruption is massive, overwhelming, and depressing. Let it be the fire that ignites you. Let it be your “red line.”
Sleeping now, counting on voting later, ain’t it.
(Hat tip: @blogdiva)
Highly suspect indeed: “The president’s judgment on what constitutes an ‘honest’ election is highly suspect, as he has repeatedly peddled falsehoods and debunked conspiracy theories about the results of recent elections.”
