🚨NEW: Republicans are moving quickly to pass a massive voter suppression bill requiring voters to present a passport or original birth certificate both to register and vote at the polls. Experts warn it could keep millions of already-registered Americans from casting ballots in the 2026 midterms.

How many Americans have passports? How many Americans have a copy of their birth certificate on hand? How many Americans have changed their last names due to marriage so that it no longer matches their birth certificate? How many of those Americans are Republicans? Careful what you wish for

I feel like this will effect Republicans more just like the Texas redistricting where a Dem Senator took 56% of the vote in a +17 Trump district. Just saying that Democrats are more informed while Republicans tend to not be the brightest.

What was the point of Real ID if it's not acceptable for voting? Especially married women who changed their name after marriage will have to perform the same dog and pony show they did to get the Real ID? This is ridiculous.

Honestly, I see this move backfiring heavily. Democrats do what it takes. Minneapolis protested in negative 20 degree weather. If a backwoods red state yahoo can't find their birth certificate, you think they are going to go through the effort of getting another one? How many republicans

have spent 2025 saying "I didn't think he meant us." They are going to think that this only really applies to brown people. "Surely I don't have to prove that I belong here."If this passes, Democrats will hit the streets to make sure EVERYONE does what's necessary to vote. Republicans will sit on

X "owning the libs." Do I think it will suppress some of the vote? I do. But I think those who stand up for what is right will crawl over broken glass to make their voices heard while Republicans assume that much like every other policy decision, it will only affect those they don't like.

So how the Fuck do we Stop it Please don’t tell me to get in touch with my Representatives NOTHING IS STOPPING THIS JUGGERNAUT WE THE PEOPLE HAVE TO BE IN THE STREETS EVERY DAY

No doubt ICE will head to the polls in force demanding ID of citizens & non compliance of such illegal requests will result in a vote not happening. ICE will illegally haul voters away. No doubt where this is going. And mail in votes? In PA very few voters check system on receipt.

That may be true, but it will cut both ways. Many MAGA voters probably don’t have or know where their birth certificate and passport are. If you have never traveled internationally, you likely don’t have a passport. It is a PITA to get a true copy of your birth certificate as well.

Republicans have lost their minds. Who of them would want to work in the cess pool they've created? We're in hell and still alive. Zombies, all.

Trump 2.0 is BAD for America 🇺🇸!!! Everything thing he had done makes us weak and stupid!! We need to rebrand him BAD for America 🇺🇸!!!

Then the government should have to pay for these IDs and any paperwork fees when a person has difficulty obtaining a birth certificate. Also, why won't a Real ID suffice since I already had to present these docs to get a Real ID?

Call your Representatives and tell them to vote NO to the Save bill. Women voters will be negatively impacted by this anti-constitutional, anti-voting law. Women will need to show additional documents such as their original birth certificate. This law drags us backwards, and disenfranchises Women

That's good. The likelihood of a MAGA voter leaving his village and needing of a passport is pretty remote, and the gene pool is so shallow you could count their parentage on 6 fingers of one hand.

Oh, poor Melania, she can't produce an American birth certificate. There might be an investigation how she got naturalized with a false visa and illegal work.
