From Breitbart: Voter identification rules are just like Civil War racist exclusion laws, according to Democrats who denounced and voted against the GOP’s SAVE Act bill on the House floor.
“This is the 2024 version of the Jim Crow poll tax and we should vote against it,” claimed Rep. Jennifer McClellan (D-VA) as she denounced the bill, which requires people to prove their citizenship before casting a vote for Democrats or Republicans.
In the 1800s until the 1960s, many people were denied the vote when they did not pay the flat “poll tax” on individuals living in a jurisdiction. But McClellan is determined to disinter the bones of historical racism for Democratic advantage in 2024, saying:
This bill is essentially a poll tax, because I am not aware of a single proof of citizenship document that does not cost an individual money to get it [and] unless we are requiring every state to provide one for free … it’s an unfunded mandate.

Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA), went on a rampage claiming that requiring only American citizens to vote is a “xenophobic attack” that will “make it harder for Americans to vote.”
She also claimed that Republicans “don’t want you to vote… they don’t want to hear Black voices, Brown voices, LGBTQ voices, young voices.”
“Nearly 30 million people lack a valid drivers licenses, and 15 to 18 million adults don’t have access to documents proving their birth or citizenship,” she claimed.

🚨 #BREAKING: The US House has PASSED the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote.
This is a NO BRAINER.
However, practically EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT voted against this measure, as if they want illegals to vote.
WHY? pic.twitter.com/vXKXoFMWfz
