The SAVE Act doesn’t have the votes in the Senate, but Trump doesn’t need it to pass to do damage. In tomorrow’s piece, Jay Kuo breaks down how Republicans are using it to undermine trust in our elections ahead of November. Yesterday, Todd Beeton reported from Senate Dems’ digital creators summit.

The only POTUS worse than 45 is now, officially, 47.
The polling is THAT bad now.
That's why they want to rig the elections. They know it's gonna be a bloodbath on top of a massacre on top of a political genocide.
They're scared. We need to keep the pressure I n them & apply it even harder.
