CONSTITUTIONAL IGNORANCE: Raskin Claims SAVE Act Violates Women's Voting Rights

In a display of constitutional ignorance that would make the Founding Fathers roll over in their graves, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) claimed Thursday on CNN that the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act would likely violate the 19th Amendment guaranteeing women's right to vote.

The Maryland Democrat's bizarre assertion came during an appearance on "The Arena," where he attempted to attack common-sense legislation designed to ensure only American citizens can vote in American elections. Apparently, requiring proof of citizenship is now somehow an assault on women's suffrage in Raskin's twisted worldview.

The SAVE Act, which has been championed by Republicans and supported by President Trump, simply requires proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote – a basic safeguard that should be common sense in any functioning democracy. How exactly this threatens women's constitutional right to vote remains a mystery that only Raskin seems to understand.

Americans See Through the Charade

Patriots across social media immediately called out Raskin's ridiculous claims. "Raskin is nothing more than a political hack," posted @jrumolo on X, echoing the sentiments of millions of Americans tired of Democrats' constitutional gaslighting.

Another user, @Privatedncer, didn't mince words: "Raskin is a full blown idiot," while @reach147 dismissed the claims as "Total horse sh*t."

This is the same Jamie Raskin who led the Democrats' second impeachment witch hunt against President Trump and has consistently shown contempt for constitutional principles when they conflict with his partisan agenda.

"Democrats like Raskin will say anything to protect their ability to harvest illegal votes. They know election integrity measures threaten their power, so they resort to absurd constitutional arguments that insult every thinking American."

The real question is: Why are Democrats so terrified of ensuring only citizens vote? Could it be because they've been relying on illegal votes to stay competitive? Raskin's desperate constitutional contortions suggest they know their game is up under the Trump administration's commitment to election integrity.

It's time to ignore these partisan hacks and pass the SAVE Act immediately. American elections should be decided by American citizens – not foreign nationals enabled by Constitution-twisting Democrats like Jamie Raskin.

I had to show my birth certificate when I registered to vote back in the 80s as a woman. How is asking for proof of citizenship suddenly discriminatory? This is just political theater.

Raskin is absolutely clueless about basic constitutional law. Requiring proof of citizenship to vote has nothing to do with gender discrimination - it's about protecting the integrity of our elections!

Exactly! The 19th Amendment guaranteed women the right to vote, but it didn't eliminate citizenship requirements.

This is why we need constitutional literacy tests for members of Congress!

Can someone explain how verifying citizenship status somehow targets women specifically? I'm genuinely confused by Raskin's logic here.

There is no logic - he's just throwing everything at the wall hoping something sticks to stop election integrity measures.
