Maine leaders debate voter rights amid SAVE Act controversy

The SAVE Act would require potential voters to show proof of citizenship by presenting a valid passport or other verifying documentation like a birth certificate.

There is no money to have citizens register before a election day but the State of Maine was building apartments for Biden's migrants who were in many instances admitted into the country surreptitiously.

Nationwide there should be voter id (with a real id), if i have to show id to get a drink when eating or get in a federal bldg

What’s ridiculous is there’s no debate here and that’s not an opinion. There’s no debate if you’re not an American citizen you don’t get voted. It’s just that simple constitution has never been changed or amended for that and if any state has allowed people that are not American citizens even if it’s for The mayor of the street it’s illegal and if you do that, you should be arrested or brought up on charges at the very least. There’s no debate here again. It’s ridiculous and it’s insane. That people think that there is some big debate here there isn’t read the constitution black-and-white. It means what it says and of story. Incredible with all the theft and crime that has been exposed just in the last not even three months it’s amazing that we’re talking about this kind of stuff. I mean it’s insane. It is absolutely insane that we are even having to deal with something like this what’s confusing if I go to some other country illegallyI’m not gonna be able to vote in one of their elections. It’s ridiculous.

What studies do they have to show that passing this act will negatively affect people wanting to vote? I can just as easily argue that passing the SAFE act will increase voter participation. By making people confident that their vote actually matters and cheating will not be tolerated.

Maine needs money? Follow Federal laws. Simple solution

[Gris-ts]

Simply stating that it’s not happening is very hard to believe. The only way to prove it or prevent it from happening is voter Identifications in every state.

God forbid people have to put ANY effort into voting. If you are to incompetent to get an ID then maybe you should just stay home.

future of that state is done!!!thanks democrats and obama

Remember Main believes men can compete against women in sports, so that should tell you all you need to know about Main and how they think.

[Col.BatGuano]

I can't wait to...
Vote Democrats Out!

Time to give New England to Canada in exchange for Western Provinces

[David-hdb]

Well this is just a waste of time maybe they should do something about stopping the tariffs BS before more damage is done

[bingyum]

How many cases of non citizens have been voting. I have seen very few were ever found and do why make it harder for everyone
Else to vote? I'd the goal here to make it as hard as possible for people to vote?

[tabithan]

If this passes, it will be overturned, maybe at the SC. Or in a comprehensive Voting Rights Bill.

[baconation]

so if you don't have a passport, would you be able to vote? I'm looking forward to making Trump gone again.
