Shame on you. Your vote for the SAVE Act isn’t just a policy failure—it’s an act of cowardice and complicity in the GOP’s war on democracy. This law is a naked voter suppression tactic, designed to disenfranchise women, students, black and brown voters, seniors, and low-income Americans. You had a duty to protect us. Instead, you sided with the same forces that have spent decades rigging elections by silencing marginalized voices. Let’s be clear: This bill solves nothing. In-person voter fraud is a myth—a lie Republicans use to justify their bigotry. The *real* fraud is your vote. By rejecting student IDs while accepting gun licenses, you’ve admitted this isn’t about “security.” It’s about blocking young, progressive voters. By demanding absurd paperwork for name changes, you’re targeting women, trans Americans, and anyone who’s ever escaped abuse or marriage. And by doubling down on restrictive ID laws, you’re deliberately shutting out communities of color who face systemic barriers to obtaining documents. This is how democracies die. Not with a coup, but with a thousand cuts—each one inflicted by politicians like you, who would rather kneel to Trumpian extremism than defend the right to vote. Shame on you for enabling this. Shame on you for pretending to represent Democrats while advancing a Republican plot to cheat their way into power. We will not forget. And we will make sure every voter in the second district knows exactly whose rights you sold out.
