Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer this week accidentally made the case for the SAVE America Act during an appearance on MS NOW with host Lawrence O’Donnell.
President Trump has repeatedly called on the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act.
“Requirement for Voter I.D. to vote should be something that NO American should oppose. If you want to register to vote in the United States, you have to be a citizen in the United States,” the White House previously said in a statement.
Republican Senators are refusing to come together to pass the SAVE America Act, even though more than 70% of Americans back the voter ID bill.
Schumer made the case for the SAVE America Act during a segment on MS NOW.
The Democrat leader said the SAVE America Act will remove 25 million people from the voter rolls.
“So here’s a prediction that I think you’re going to like. “The Republican Party will never win another election. I will sadly be the last Republican president. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the Republican Senate must not let this carnage happen.” That’s Donald Trump’s prediction today that the Republican Party will never win another election. You will be the next Senate Majority Leader. And he’s saying all of that because the Republicans in the Senate are not trying to push through his bill to restrict voting in this country,” Lawrence O’Donnell said to Schumer.
Schumer trashed the SAVE America Act and said it would remove 25 million to 30 million (illegals and ineligible voters) from the voter rolls.
“Well, that’s right. This is this horrible thing, the SAVE Act, one of the worst, most anti-election democracy things that’s ever been proposed. They say it’s, “oh, it’s all about ID, voter ID.” It’s not. They will remove 25 million people off the rolls. Why? Because they’ll require, under this act, which is not going to pass and we’re not going to let it pass. We’ve defeated it in court. I was a lead plaintiff in the decision to do that. We’ve refused to give them the votes that they would want for this. We never will. What it does is it says every state send your election rolls, not to the Justice Department or the voting division, but to the Department of Homeland Security, where Musk and DOGE and Vought have installed an algorithm that determines whether you’re legitimately right to vote or not,” Schumer said.
He continued, “The algorithm is a fix. It’ll knock 20 million people, 30 million people off the rolls, and they don’t tell you. So Mr. Lawrence O’Donnell could show up at the same voting place he showed up every so often, shown his same ID. “Sorry, you’re not on the rolls anymore, sir.” “Well, what do I do about it?” “Next week, go to the Board of Elections.” Trump knows he will lose the election – he said it – because he has created such chaos and because we Democrats have shown what we’re for and the contrast between what we’re for and he’s for, and there’s such a contrast. And so, he’s got to fix it. We’re not letting him do it.”
Lawrence O’Donnell chimed in and attacked Trump for working to stop fraudulent mail-in voting.
“So one of the things he’s trying to stop is mail-in voting anywhere. And one of the little known facts about this recent California election is that California primary had the highest voter turnout of any primary in any state this year, and that’s because everyone in California, if they choose, can vote at home,” O’Donnell said.
“They can sit at the kitchen table with a ballot that goes on for several pages, by the way, where you’re voting on judges, you’re voting on issues, you have to do a lot of homework. I know people who spend an hour and a half, two hours, filling out their ballot right and that is what gets you that high of a turnout,” Lawrence O’Donnell added.
Schumer accused President Trump of trying to hijack the post office to stop mail-in ballots.
“Yes, and he’s even trying to hijack the post office not to deal with the mail-in ballots. Again, we will win. He will not be able to change it legislatively, which is the only way he could. We will go to court, and we will beat him. We have beaten him. His lawyers are so lousy because the good ones have left, or he’s fired them because they don’t say, “yes, sir,” that he loses all these cases. We are going to stop this in its tracks,” Schumer said.
