If Elections Were Rigged — It Was By the People Claiming They Were

To: Sen. Ernst, Sen. Grassley, Rep. Nunn

From: A verified voter in Des Moines, IA

February 26

I am urging you to vote NO on the SAVE Act. Not only because it is unnecessary — but because we now know exactly who has been committing election fraud in this country. And it is not the people this bill targets. Meet the Real Face of Election Fraud. Austin Smith was a state legislator and senior director at Turning Point Action — one of the most prominent election integrity organizations in America. He spent years publicly claiming elections were stolen and accusing Democrats of manipulating votes. Then he forged over 100 signatures on his own nomination petition — including the name of a deceased woman. He was convicted and sentenced for election fraud. His own sentencing judge stated that his actions undermined the integrity of the election process. The Irony Is Impossible to Ignore. The loudest voices claiming elections are stolen have repeatedly turned out to be the ones doing the stealing. The people crying fraud have been committing it. And yet the SAVE Act asks millions of innocent Americans to pay the price for crimes they did not commit — while doing nothing to stop the people who actually did. The SAVE Act Punishes the Wrong People. This bill does not target forgers. It does not target petition fraudsters. It targets the elderly, the poor, married women, and communities of color — millions of eligible Americans who have done absolutely nothing wrong. If you genuinely care about election integrity — prosecute the real fraudsters. Enforce the laws already on the books. And vote NO on a bill that punishes the innocent while ignoring the guilty. Real election security means holding actual criminals accountable. Not building walls around the ballot box to keep out innocent voters. Vote NO on the SAVE Act. Protect every American’s right to vote.
