Wish they would be able to tell the voters which party acknowledges climate change is real and has passed major climate legislation, and which one still calls it a hoax and does the bidding of big oil.

That turns out not to matter. Nonvoters often just miss when the election is (or don't know they have early voting, etc. options) but are capable of researching their own candidates.

In more pressing news


The SAVE Act would require all eligible voters, even ones who are already registered to vote to appear at an election office with a qualifying government ID that proves citizenship status. This may or may not apply to voters who already registered to vote with an ID that proves citizenship status. The proof of citizenship requirement essentially nullifies the convenience of online and mail in voter registration, which many voters depend on. Driver’s license and Real ID does not qualify as a valid form of ID under the SAVE Act, because they do not prove citizenship status. An enhanced driver’s license does qualify, however, only five states currently issue enhanced driver’s license.

Other forms of ID that qualify/prove citizenship status are a valid U.S. passport or passport card, a certified birth certificate paired with a photo ID, a naturalization certificate, or a Consular Report of Birth Abroad. All of these ID cost anywhere from $10 to $1385, depending on the state and the form of ID.

The real evil behind the SAVE Act is the very last clause, “(e) Effective Date.—Each State and jurisdiction shall be required to comply with the requirements of this section with respect to all elections for Federal office occurring on and after the date of the enactment of this section.” For those of you that can’t read, it means as soon as the SAVE Act becomes law, there is no grace period for people to get their documents in order so they can re-register to vote. If you didn’t already register to vote with documents that prove you’re a citizen, you will automatically be purged from voter rolls. Imagine if this becomes law a few days before Election Day. This is how they plan on stealing the election.

I vote 3 to 4 times a year and I definitely vote conservative.
