Senator Chuck Schumer announced Wednesday on the Senate floor that no Democrat will vote for the SAVE Act to secure US elections.
It threatens the party’s future.
Chuck Schumer: The kind of legislation, the kind of executive orders, which are so jaundiced, so slanted on the side of one party, are the antithesis of democracy.
On the one side, Donald Trump recently issued an executive order that will coerce states to prevent millions of Americans from voting. On the other, Republicans in Congress are pushing the SAVE Act, one of the most destructive, dangerous voter suppression bills in recent memory. It is very reminiscent of Jim Crow. That’s what Republicans want to do. They want to not only restore Jim Crow in the south, they want to have Jim Crow spread from one end of this country to the other.
It will not happen. It will not happen. Let me be clear. I will not let this noxious bill, the Save Act, become law. Every Senate Democrat, every single one of us is united against it. They need 60 votes. The SAVE Act is dead on arrival. I’d like to say it louder so my friends in the House and in the right wing over here can hear. The SAVE Act is dead on arrival. Democrats.
Our first reaction to Senator Schumer is to remind him that the Jim Crow Laws were Democrat laws to keep free blacks from voting.
Our second reaction is that every single word Chuck said is an outright lie and he knows it. We are not dealing with decent, honest people here. These are radical, power-hungry tyrants who know that mandatory Voter ID laws will kill their chances in any election.
Democrats must cheat to win.
And, Democrats can only block such common-sense legislation due to a complacent liberal media.

JUST IN: Chuck Schumer announces that the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship to register to vote nationwide, is DONE. Won’t go to Trump’s desk. DOA.
It needs 60 votes. Schumer turned around, looked at Republicans, and gloated as he said this.

According to GROK.
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act is a proposed U.S. bill (H.R. 22 in the 119th Congress, 2025) that aims to ensure only U.S. citizens register to vote in federal elections by requiring documentary proof of citizenship, such as a passport, birth certificate, or specific REAL ID-compliant identification indicating citizenship. It amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, prohibiting states from processing voter registration applications without this proof and requiring in-person submission in most cases, which would eliminate online and mail-in registration options. The bill also mandates states to establish programs to verify citizenship using federal databases and imposes criminal penalties on election officials who register applicants without proper documentation.
Here is an online reaction to Schumer’s remarks.
The only reason to kill the SAVE Act?
To let non-citizens vote.
Simple as that. No other explanation holds water.

Kill the filibuster.
Time for republicans to kill the filibuster. Democrats were going to do it to pass their election bill to legalize mail-in ballots, no ID requirements, etc.
