The GOP’s sweeping new anti-voting bill cleared the U.S. House Wednesday, setting up a high-stakes battle in the Senate.

The House voted 218-213 to pass the SAVE America Act, which experts have said could disenfranchise millions by requiring voters to show documentary proof of citizenship at registration and to provide photo ID when they cast ballots.

Republicans have argued for voter ID broadly, pointing out that there isn’t much to prevent a noncitizen from casting a ballot in a federal election — besides the fact that it’s a felony, easily caught, and would lead to deportation all for the chance to cast one out of hundreds of thousands of votes.

    When the fuck do we just start killing politicians and billionaires? Seriously. Why are we still pretending like laws mean anything in this fucking country?

      Someone has to decorate the white house as a school, it would be shot up in seconds

      They most certainly killed a lot of people too. If not directly, then indirectly. Don’t see anything wrong with returning the favor

        Just billionaires, if you ask me. Fuck the politicians, but the ringmaster can always get a new clown for their circus. Don’t waste your shot on them, imo.

      MORE killing is never the answer. Did you know that there were really… effective “instruments” in the old ages?
