In a display of political gaslighting that would make Orwell blush, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) brazenly claimed on MSNBC's "All In" Friday night that the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act has "nothing to do with voter ID."
Let that sink in, Patriots. The SAVE Act—literally designed to require proof of citizenship for voter registration—somehow has "nothing to do" with voter identification, according to one of the Democrats' top attack dogs.
This is the same Jamie Raskin who spent years trying to overturn the 2016 election and leading the bogus impeachment circus against President Trump. Now he's trying to convince Americans that a bill specifically requiring documentation to vote isn't about voter ID.
Democrats' War on Election Integrity Exposed
Raskin's ridiculous statement perfectly encapsulates the left's desperate strategy to confuse voters about common-sense election security measures. They know the SAVE Act enjoys overwhelming support among Americans who believe—shocking concept—that only citizens should vote in American elections.
Social media users quickly called out the absurdity. One Twitter user highlighted the Democrats' contradictory messaging, posting: "Chuck Schumer and democrats have for decades claimed black people are too stupid to get ID. Jamie Raskin says women are to stupid to get ID because they married and changed their names." The tweet perfectly exposes how Democrats simultaneously claim voter ID is both unnecessary and discriminatory.
"This is classic Democrat doublespeak—deny reality while accusing Republicans of the very voter suppression they're enabling by opposing basic safeguards," said one election integrity advocate.
The SAVE Act, which passed the House during Trump's first term, requires states to obtain documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering voters for federal elections. It's exactly what any rational person would call voter ID legislation.
Why Democrats Fear the SAVE Act
Raskin's desperate deflection reveals why Democrats are terrified of the SAVE Act becoming law under the Trump-Vance administration. They know their political power depends on a deliberately porous election system that allows maximum opportunities for fraud and manipulation.
With President Trump back in the White House and Republicans controlling Congress, the SAVE Act represents the kind of election integrity reform that could permanently end the Democrats' ability to "find" votes when they need them most.
How long will Americans tolerate politicians like Raskin who think we're too stupid to understand what voter ID means?
