What’s Your Number One Concern? War, Inflation, Economy, Jobs?

In the lie of the day, Trump says the “SAVE Act is all people care about!!!”

Not only is the SAVE Act the #1 issue, it’s allegedly the only thing people care about.

Desperation Sets In

Truth Social: Great Job by hard working Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS. It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY – ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL: NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS: NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION FOR CHILDREN! DO NOT FAIL!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Massive Lie of the Day

The number of circulating lies regarding the SAVE Act are monumental.

Trump and Republicans “sh**ting their pants” over the damage Trump has caused this economy present the SAVE Act as if it’s about voter ID.

The act is really about suppression of female and minority votes.

Save Act Background

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act is federal legislation that would amend the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) to require individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship—such as a passport, birth certificate, or certain REAL ID-compliant documents—when registering to vote in federal elections.

States would be prohibited from accepting registration applications without this proof, and the bill includes provisions for alternative processes, voter roll purges, and penalties for non-compliance.

The act requires the voter ID to be the same as their birth certificate.

This places an extraordinary burden on women who would need a birth certificate and a marriage certificate to register to vote. Multiple divorces and remarriage is particularly problematic.

1. Congress Lacks Authority to Impose Voter Qualifications.

The U.S. Constitution delegates the power to set voter qualifications—such as age, residency, and citizenship—to the states, with limited federal overrides via amendments (e.g., the 15th, 19th, and 26th Amendments prohibiting discrimination based on race, sex, or age).

The SAVE Act’s proof-of-citizenship requirement effectively establishes a new national qualification for voting by mandating documentation that verifies citizenship status, which exceeds Congress’s role under the Elections Clause. This clause allows Congress to regulate procedural aspects like how elections are conducted, but not who is eligible to participate.

In Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council of Arizona (2013), the Supreme Court struck down a similar state-level proof-of-citizenship requirement for federal elections, ruling it conflicted with the NVRA’s simpler attestation process.

By amending the NVRA to impose such a requirement nationwide, the SAVE Act is overreach.

2. Violation of the National Voter Registration Act and Supremacy Clause Issues

Although the SAVE Act seeks to amend the NVRA, it would conflict with the NVRA’s original intent to streamline registration and reduce barriers.

The NVRA requires only a sworn attestation of citizenship under penalty of perjury, and courts have invalidated stricter state measures as preempted by federal law.

Kansas’s similar proof-of-citizenship law, for instance, was ruled unconstitutional after blocking over 30,000 eligible voters.

The SAVE Act’s nationwide mandate could be seen as an end-run around these rulings, potentially violating the Supremacy Clause by forcing states to adopt federal standards that disrupt their own election administration without clear constitutional justification. This preemption of state processes, including online and mail-in registration, would impose unfunded burdens on local officials and expose them to legal risks, further straining the federal-state balance.

3. Undue Burden on the Fundamental Right to Vote

Voting is a fundamental right protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments, and laws imposing severe burdens must survive strict scrutiny—meaning they must be narrowly tailored to a compelling government interest.

The SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions of eligible citizens who lack easy access to required documents.

Estimates suggest 21 million Americans don’t have readily available proof of citizenship, with disproportionate impacts on women (due to name changes), low-income voters, rural residents, students, older adults, and minorities.

Requiring in-person submission and excluding common IDs like student or state-issued cards adds barriers, potentially amounting to a modern poll tax if obtaining documents incurs costs (violating the 24th Amendment).

Non-citizen voting is already illegal and exceedingly rare (e.g., audits in Georgia and elsewhere found negligible instances), so the Act’s burdens far outweigh any demonstrated need, failing constitutional tests under cases like Anderson v. Celebrezze (1983).

Federal Power Grab On Voting Still Flunks Basic Civics Test

CATO reports Federal Power Grab On Voting Still Flunks Basic Civics Test

The Framers greatly feared that a president or ruling national faction might someday gain power over the administration of elections. The Constitution guards against this danger by placing primary responsibility for elections with the states, subject to a rulemaking power that Congress has wisely used sparingly. The proposed SAVE Act, which passed the House yesterday, and the broader MEGA Act would impose rash, perhaps even unworkable, new rules while arming the president with dangerous new powers to harass and menace localities and officials whose decisions on election administration are not to his liking.

There’s nothing wrong with voter ID—most states use it, generally with good results. But the SAVE Act and MEGA Act have little to do with that issue. They are fueled by alarms about supposedly widespread noncitizen voting and voter impersonation that simply aren’t borne out by the evidence. Their new demands for documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) go beyond what almost any state has chosen to enact voluntarily and would impose serious burdens on both qualified citizen voters and administrators.

The bills expose local administrators to a risk of imprisonment if they fail to tick the right boxes even when no unqualified person in fact registers or votes. The new rules would take effect immediately, requiring states to set aside existing preparations for the 2026 elections and scramble to train staff and revamp data systems on the fly. They would abolish all-mail electoral systems that are popular out West, requiring many qualified, US-born voters to pay repeated visits to a distant county office if they hope to stay on the rolls. The acts give the federal government new powers of prosecution and discretionary regulation that would be highly susceptible to misuse, as well as empowering busybody or ideologically motivated private citizens to sue.

There’s more. The bill would force states to turn over voter rolls to these same federal overseers notwithstanding serious privacy concerns and the high chance of misuse. The broader MEGA Act even reaches out to ban the use of ranked-choice voting for federal races in states such as Alaska and Maine, even though there is zero evidence that such voting has caused any election integrity problems in those states. While election reform is most likely to endure when done with bipartisan support, the bills are, at this point, almost a purely partisan play.

The Fraud Scorecard

  • Utah: 1 registered, 0 voted, 2.1 million registered voters
  • Idaho: 36 “likely”, voted uncertain, one million voters
  • Louisiana: 390 noncitizen registrants, 79 of whom had voted in at least one election over the last several decades (out of 2.9 million registrants).
  • Montana: 23 possible noncitizen registrants (out of approximately 785,000 people registered).
  • Georgia: A 2024 audit found 20 registered noncitizens (out of 8.2 million registrations).
  • Michigan: The Macomb County clerk, Anthony Forlini announced to great fanfare that he’d found 15 noncitizens on his county’s voter rolls of over 724,000 registered voters. The incumbent secretary of state, Jocelyn Benson, investigated the 15 files. Three were U.S. citizens, four were previously removed from voter rolls, four were under further investigation and four do seem to be noncitizens.
  • Arizona: In Maricopa County overseeing voter registration, there was a total of two possible instances of noncitizens voting out of some 2.5 million registered voters.

Synopsis

While the Act aims to enhance election integrity, its unconstitutionality stems from encroaching on state powers, conflicting with established federal law, and erecting discriminatory barriers to voting.

The purpose of the act is to disenfranchise women and minorities who tend to vote Democratic.

The act is not about “voter ID” or it would not be written the way that it was.

If enacted, the Save Act would likely face immediate legal challenges, similar to prior state efforts. Courts would swiftly strike the act.

If Trump tries to do this by Executive Order as threatened, there is a near 100 percent chance of swift court strike down, and the Supreme Court will not come to Trump’s aid.

Pressure is on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to remove the filibuster so the bill can pass. He is wisely resisting the temptation.

The bill would highly likely be struck down in the courts. Removing the filibuster has serious repercussion the next time Democrats hold the White House.

Save Act Odds

Polymarket rates Save Act Passage at 14 percent as of 9:30 Mountain Time on March 8, 2026.

I am confident the Supreme Court would strike the law for the reasons I stated.

Trump will try to do this by Executive Order if Congress does not act.

I rate the odds the EO is struck at 99 percent.

Update (1745ET): As was rumored and widely expected, the son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba, will become Iran’s next supreme leader, Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency announced, taking over after his father was killed in an attack by the US and Israel.

Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, is the third person to lead the Islamic Republic and the first example of hereditary succession since the overthrow of the Pahlavi monarchy in the 1979 revolution. In other words, it appears that Iran overthrew a monarchy 47 years ago to institute a… monarchy.

Currently there are reports that the US is contemplating seizing control of Iran’s largest oil export terminal on Kharg Island. Per regional reports:

  A senior US official vowed to take control of Iran’s oil on Friday as the devastating regional conflict triggered by the US-Israeli war on Iran neared its second week.

  “What we want to do is to get such massive oil reserves in Iran out of the hands of terrorists,” White House advisor Jarrod Agen said in an interview with Fox Business.

Iranian officials are also warning of environmental fallout from the expanding attacks on energy infrastructure. Foad Izadi, a professor at the University of Tehran, claimed in an interview with Al Jazeera that the strikes were timed deliberately ahead of rainfall.

The future of the vital Kharg Island looms large as China is still getting (some of) its oil.

All of them, with respect to how they affect the reliable delivery of food and electricity at a price I can afford.

Without oil, food production will plummet. I won’t starve but a lot of other people will, and they’ll compete with me for what food there is and drive up the price… potentially to a point where I starve too.

I’d get pretty cold without electricity, too. I don’t know how oil dependent that is in the US, but it will have an effect.

They chased off all the smart people, so OpenAI is the only thing that thinks in that administration.
I can guarantee that OpenAI has told them to nuke Tehran to make the Trumpstien files go away, and they’re thinking seriously about it. After all, who would dare nuke us back for it?

This would free russia to use tactical nukes in Ukraine.

Everyone in the country should be transitioned to REAL ID and that should be the ID used for voting, if someone is too stupid or lazy to accomplish that minor clerical task then they don’t need to be voting either.

Health. I know a lot of people who have died over the past year; the obituaries in the area I grew up in have been flooded for many months. I also know a lot of people who are suddenly very sick, or have surprising new ailments. Most of them are (or were) older or in bad health, but by no means all.

These are not “drug deaths” or “deaths of despair;” these are middle class people living boring lives; it is cardiac and cancer and sudden death and fast moving dementia. My guess is that this is residual damage from covid (I am agnostic about the shots). The health care in the New England state where I grew up has gone to hell; I have a relative there whom I’m trying to move out with me because the system for taking care of elderly people seems to have simply broken down, due to lack of practitioners and sick workers and overwhelming demand.

The UK may not be deeply enmeshed in this one yet, but MI6 has punched above its weight in creating death and destruction in Ukraine and Russia. I believe they were behind both Bucha and the Crocus City Hall attack (although I assume the CIA demons had advanced knowledge). It’s been widely acknowledged that they were behind the Kursk fiasco – with its widespread war crimes against Russia civilians. What the UK lacks in military capacity they more than make up for in Great Game maleficence. I’m not saying “you” because it has nothing to do with British voters, just like American voters’ wishes are irrelevant.

It’s much easier to prove identity in a police state. Most of Europe requires people to carry ID on them at all times, and requires presentation of a passport just to stay overnight in a hotel, so that the hotel can comply with the law to notify the police of the identity of every guest every night. I don’t want to live in a police state, though it is becoming more and more so every year.

There are laws against non-citizens voting. If you feel they aren’t being followed, first prove it and then put more resources into finding people who broke the law and prosecuting them. Don’t make every person bring all of their identification to the polling station just to exercise their right to vote.

Not an American but the principle is still the same. I’m a minority male who uses my wife’s family name to avoid discrimination. I didn’t find it difficult to get documentation for multiple offical purposes in the countries I reside in.
And as for that list of various states only finding few cases of non citizens voting that is just misdirection. Officials only find what they really search for. How many cases are there of non citizens voting in the name of a citizen? Was that even looked for? Was a verifiable photo ID presented to vote? Could be nearly no cases or could be thousands.
And independent researchers found over 1000 vacant residences in that county in Georgia linked to suspect ballot stuffing. How are there multiple voters registered at a collapsing house with no letterbox that voted by postal vote in the last election? Plenty of cases of that shown by independent media. So the Save Act needs to be implemented perhaps by pressuring the states to do it by restricting federal payments to non compliant states.
And yes Trump is stupid to say this act is the most important matter to the voters.

Sure and let’s replace the 2 senators per state bullshit with something at least vaguely representative. No way a senator from North Dakota should count the same as one from Texas or CA.
Plainly outdated and unfair.

Phil in CT, you’re absolutely clueless about our Constitutional Republican system. Senators represent their state, not the people, that’s for the House of Representatives. Until the 17th Amendment (1913), Senators used to be appointed by the state representatives in each respective state as it would better reflect voter sentiment in that state, but now it is by popular vote. It’s no longer the same thing. Madison argued that the Senate was necessary to protect against the “impulse of sudden and violent passions” of the House of Representatives (The People’s House), and to provide a “sober, second thought”. Our system is unique and is better than a democracy. If you take one thing out of our system, we will collapse and that goes for the electoral college as well. Please educate yourself.

Blondie The Bimbo Stooge answered that from the perspective of what Warshington thinks it should be, “The Dow Jones is at 50,000!” Sorry I can’t replicate that middle school girls lunch table voice.

Another version of Hank “Tanks In The Streets!” Paulson to justify the bailouts.

By the way, has anyone seen Epstein?

Clearly, the white house and company is a major concern for the majority of Americans.

Restoring confidence int he electoral system is for most prople with a clue on the right the most important thing there is.

Right now my confidence in free and fair and accurate elections is about ZERO

Now whether the SAVE act is consonant with the Constitution or not, it is one way to restore actual election results

States, which are corrupt to the core, will not do what is necessary

If there is going to be a problem with the November elections it is going to come from the current administration.

I find it very strange that Donald Trump stokes election integrity fears when the two elections that he won were when Democrats controlled the White House and the one election that he lost is when he controlled the White House.

You can also listen to the call to the Georgia Secretary of State after the 2020 election and he is begging the Georgia Secretary of State to “find” 14,000 votes for him.

Which states were those? There were multiple recounts and audits in red and blue states. Nothing of anything significance made the news.
