I think the SAVE America Act now before Congress should be called the “Desperate Republican Act.” We should be proud of the current scrutiny and safety of our elections. I believe Republicans are spreading lies because they are now running scared by an unpopular war and higher prices.
The SAVE America Act could go into effect immediately giving local, state and national offices little time for handling the new requirements by November. When Maine moved to Real ID state driving licenses that required proof of citizenship and residency, we were given years to make the change.
Sen. Susan Collins supports the SAVE America Act, but contact her anyway. I believe Maine needs new, less desperate leadership to protect our votes.
