And so I think the fact is Republicans have won plenty of elections without the SAVE Act.
I don't believe that most Republican strategists think that it would make much of a difference if they ended up passing it, which is not likely to happen.
If you look at the details of the bill,
It could actually hurt Republican constituencies more than Democrats.
Republican constituencies are less likely to have a passport.
They're more likely to have an issue with their birth certificate because married women who change their names are more likely to be Republican than Democrat.
Republican women are twice as likely as Democratic women.
to take their partner's last name when they get married.
So they could have more of these bureaucratic issues with their citizenship documents.
Rural voters are more Republican.
They could have a much harder time registering to vote under the bill.
Republicans haven't really thought this through.
I think we're basically seeing a redux of 2020 when Trump fears that he or his party is going to lose and is looking for something to blame.
In 2020, he blamed mail voting.
He's still, of course, blaming mail voting.
They have added a ban on mail voting to the Save America Act, which is quite unpopular with many Republicans.
But now he's
expanded his list of grievances.
He's not just blaming mail voting, he's blaming non-citizen voting and all these other things that don't really happen.
And I believe he's laying the groundwork to try to challenge the results of the midterm elections.
