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.

    The db0 shitters wanted this. The ml shitters wanted this.

    They want an excuse to see fires and blood. They want an excuse for violence. And they’ll throw everyone else vulnerable into harms way first to get their shot at an imaginary revolution. They play the disinformation game to get their own way.

    Don’t trust them. Don’t believe them.
