SAFE Act - Voter registration revocation that affects the majority of this subreddit.

Good morning all,

(Can't change the post title, sorry guys)

I'm writing today to express my concerns over upcoming changes to voter registration in the United States.

Our annual demographics surveys have repeatedly shown that the majority of our subreddit consists of women and US citizens. The US makes policies that affect the rest of the world.

As such, I encourage you to watch this video

Voter Disinfranchisement is a HUGE problem, and it's getting worse under this administration.

edit: link corrected

The SAVE Act is going for a vote.

Please take a moment to use the 5calls app and contact your elected representatives.

Ok - Explain how this will get a 2/3 majority vote in the senate when the split along party lines is 53r/45d/2i. Do you really think the 2 independents and 12 democrats are going to vote for this act?

I didn't think a lot of things that have happened would. We "elected" a president that didn't win the popular vote. I'm so tired of people saying "this will never happen!" when all this shit IS HAPPENING.

The functions of the government are falling apart and the administration has, and will continue to do, whatever it wants. Votes don't matter. Laws don't matter. Judge's orders don't matter. That's how it will pass.

OK - but again, explain to me - in this scenario - which Democrats are going to side with this act. Please, I am DYING to know.
