Republicans in Congress are trying to force through an anti-immigrant,
anti-democratic voter suppression bill.

And they are threatening to blow up the entire federal budget — which must pass
by the end of September to avert a government shutdown — in a pathetic gamble to
pass their obnoxious bill before the American people vote for president less
than two months from now.

A few points:

* The Republicans’ latest anti-democratic bill is called the Safeguard American
Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.

* They claim it would stop non-citizens from voting in federal elections.

* But, as is so often the case with Republican legislation, the name of the
bill is the opposite of what it would actually do.

* It is already illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections.

* And there are policies in place that reliably work to prevent non-citizens
from voting.

* So there is exactly zero evidence of voting by non-citizens to any meaningful
degree.

* But of course that doesn’t stop Republicans from continuing to whine about it
as part of an overall cultural hysteria and wannabe authoritarianism.

* There is solid evidence, though, that anti-democratic measures like this *do*
make it harder for eligible voters — in particular immigrants and people of
color — to exercise their fundamental right to vote.

The so-called SAVE Act is anti-democratic. It is authoritarian. And it is
racist.

Do not pass the misleadingly named, anti-democratic, and racist SAVE Act. Do not
let MAGA extremists stonewall the must-pass federal spending package to force
this or any other poison pill down the throats of the American people.
