Friday on MS NOW’s “All In,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) claimed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act had “nothing to do with voter ID.” Raskin said, “Right now, they’re placing a lot of emphasis on the SAVE Act. And some of even the more moderate Republicans are saying, well, that’s a Trump initiative they can get behind. The SAVE act has nothing to do with voter ID. They keep saying it’s a voter ID law.

Some soviet leaders including Vladimir Lenin called the event “premature” and did not publicly endorse it, which may have been a calculated attempt to avoid direct blowback. The official historical explanation is that the…
