## Resource

A new bill, the SAVE Act, aims to restrict voting to citizens only but faces fierce criticism as a voter suppression tool—especially since its champion, Donald Trump, has voted by mail. It imposes harsh new barriers for mail-in ballots, demanding in-person registration and specific documents like passports, disproportionately affecting remote, overseas, and military voters. Critics argue this isn’t about security but about silencing marginalized voices, effectively skewing election outcomes. Meanwhile, reformers propose a compromise: prequalifying voters ahead of time and allowing provisional ballots for late registrants. The debate underscores the urgent tension between election integrity and universal voting access. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
