How is this affected ?y the SAVE Act?

Can someone explain why these need blocking at all? Since I’m under the belief that executive orders are not legally binding on legislation that already exists, vis-à-vis, voting rights and procedures?

My mom had to go to a Driver’s License office and wait two hours because both her license and passport had expired. It was ridiculous, it was clearly her in both.

No one's going to enforce it. I don't understand why people are getting excited about these judgments. They don't mean anything at this point in time. People are out here hoping China and Canada come to our rescue.

Is this blocking the SAVE Act?!
apr 24, 2025, 6:26 pm • 0 0 • view
No, it isn't. It blocks Trump's Executive Order requiring proof of citizenship, ie the bit where your birth certificate and passport must have same name (to stop women voting). The SAVE act is going thru Congress, so is legal. But the EO of Trump is not as he has no authority on voting rights.

It has only made it thru House so far. Call your Senators and encourage a NO vote on S128. Tell them it hurts seniors and women and is a violation of 24th Amendment as it requires people to get docs that cost money. It is a poll tax.

Especially if your Senator is a GOPer. Or Chuck Schumer, which is much the same thing. There are some GOP senators who are beginning to see how damaging this whole shitshow is for their chances of remaining Senators. Which is all they are interested in.

I’m NC so I’m “blessed” with two. Tillis is a disappointment most times…talks the talk but lacks the walk. Up for reelection and will occasionally surprise you by doing the right thing. Ted Budd is a lost cause tho I still call his office almost daily.

I know Wiley Nickel has announced a run, and I’m guessing Gov. Cooper will throw his name in, too, on the Democratic primary ticket. Not sure who will primary Thom Tillis. Call Tillis and Budd now as much as possible. The Budget Bill has only passed the House. Gotta pass Senate, too.

Good. This EO would place an undue burden on women who took their husband’s name when they married.
apr 24, 2025, 6:24 pm • 14 0 • view
Very true. I have written letters to local clergy to advise couples wanting to marry, not to change their names as it could impact their ability to vote in the future— assuming the SAVE act is passed.

Not to mention it would be the unelected unqualified unauthorized election volunteers who would likely able to decide who can and cannot vote at polling stations.

Was this EO passed by Congress? Ignore it then.

But the EO is very similar to the SAVE Act which has already made it through the House. It now moves to the Senate (S.128). Call Senators to encourage a NO vote on it. Tell them it is esp discriminatory toward women and is also a poll tax as it requires people to obtain documents that cost money.

100%. Call and tell your Senators that (it has only made it thru the House so far. The bill number in the Senate in S128) Tell them it violates the 24th Amendment which outlawed poll taxes (not that GOP members of Congress care much about the constitution these days.) 😢

"A federal judge ... halted parts..." What matters is what the Trump-attempted "Constitutional Court" ultimately decides, not what "a judge" "partially" "stops"!

The reasoning is what matters here: Trump can't do it because only Congress and the States have the authority to change voting regulations. It's against the Constitution. Again.

This is a significant development in the ongoing debate over voter registration. It raises questions about access to voting and the balance between security and inclusion. What do you think this means for future elections?
