1/ 🚨 The "SAVE America Act" isn't about election security. It’s an unfunded federal takeover built on compromised data, designed to crash local elections and disenfranchise millions The graphic & replies break it down. Jenny Cohn practiced law 20+ years Script below to ☎️ Your Senators #NoOnSave👇 🧵
A graphic titled "THE SAVE ACT: A BLUEPRINT FOR ELECTION COLLAPSE." It lists seven bullet points detailing the impacts of Senate Bill 1383. Point 1 notes the DOJ is forcing states to hand over voter rolls to the compromised DOGE database. Point 2 states the bill targets troops, students, Native, and transgender voters by banning certain IDs and offering no name verification method for transgender voters. Point 3 highlights a geography tax forcing some rural voters to drive up to 4.5 hours to register in person. Point 4 states local election volunteers face 5 years in federal prison for paperwork mistakes. Point 5 explains a trap for married women, noting 1 in 3 lack documentation and the bill does not explicitly mention marriage certificates. Point 6 describes a logistical collapse, citing 25 million citizens lacking required documents and the threat of frivolous lawsuits against election officials. Point 7 states the bill mandates illegal mass purges every 30 days using a database with a 14 percent error rate. The graphic concludes with a call to action to "Demand Your Senators Vote No" at (202) 224-3121 and lists sources at the bottom.
