A Simple Question of Math

Commentary by K.E. Bell

It's a simple question of math. If the Republicans think more women will vote for Democrats than Republicans, then the best thing to do is kick as many women off the voter rolls as possible. That might get them the seven or 10 percentage points they need to win in close districts. 

These are the people who claim to love America, but nothing could be more anti-American than dismantling democracy. 

It's already illegal for illegal immigrants to vote. A study by the Heritage Foundation — you know, the think tank that's dismantling democracy every way it can through Project 2025 — showed that just 68 illegal immigrants voted in US elections since the 1980s. Kick 21 million off the voter rolls to prevent 68 illegal votes over 40 or so years? The only reason is anti-democratic math.

SAVE’s Less Than Noble Intentions

Commentary by Joel Postman

The first general election in the US (in a modern sense) was probably the election of 1828, nearly 200 years ago. Since that time, there have indeed been isolated instances of voter fraud, but historians, and the record, concur that we have never had voter fraud that changed the outcome of a presidential election.

On November 12, 2020, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), under President Trump, issued a statement that “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history.”

Occam’s Razor tells us the simplest explanation that fits the facts is usually the right one. In this case, it tells us that enacting a law ostensibly to prevent voting by non-citizens, when such law already exists, and when voting by non-citizens has not historically been a problem, has other, less noble intentions and is unnecessary.
