President Trump's rhetoric against elections has escalated, with calls for Republicans to 'take over voting' in 15 places and nationalize it. He even went as far as suggesting the U.S. should scrap elections altogether.
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America bill aims to disenfranchise millions by requiring specific documentary proof of citizenship and certain photo IDs for voting, a move that could be seen as laying the groundwork for future election disputes.
Despite opposition, the bill passed in the House. Its provisions include demanding passport or birth certificate production from voters—a requirement that will immediately disenfranchise many. Democrats can still block it through the filibuster rule, but Trump is not letting go easily.
The Make Elections Great Again (MEGA) Act goes even further by eliminating mail-in voting and centralizing control over election administration to the federal government. This move could significantly alter how elections are run across America.
In a world where every vote counts, these moves raise serious questions about trust in democratic processes.
