If you just have a drivers license with the gold star you are good. It's not hard. Ugh!

---

No you aren't. Real ID does not satisfy the requirements of the law.

The fact that so many people still believe this is a real problem.

---

Real ID does not satisfy the requirement to register. To vote, it is perfectly acceptable. Quit parroting Reddit talking points to fear monger. Disgusting.

---

Who is fear mongering? I'm only laying out exactly what the law requires?

Why do you hate people knowing what the law requires?

---

I hate people who coddle to illegals and want them to vote and make up bizarre concepts about how difficult it is for someone to register to vote. You have 8 months to get a copy of a required document and then bring your ID to cast your vote.

How is that hard? And how many married women took their husbands name, didn't file a name change, but somehow have an ID that has their married name? I mean, is there even a single example of this?

Substantially ALL people who are eligible and registered to vote have already accomplished the above. What you oppose is a review and cleanup of voter rolls and for those who have an issue come up to correct over… the next 8 flippin months.

You libs give the real world a break from your American hatin nonsense and apply some logic. If you need an ID and proof of citizenship to vote in Chile, you probably should need the same in the United States, where the state of the free world is on the line vs the protection of pumas and guanacos.

---

Real ID does not meet the requirements because the ID only validate that you are in the country Legally or a US citizen. So Real ID do in fact remove illegal Immigrants from voting. However; registration is suppose to validate a person right to vote. So the ID prove you are who you say you are, and your registration prove you have the righ tot vote. 19 States don't follow Real ID with their driver license. The Law should require those 19 state to adopt a certification of citizenship in their ID.. that is common sense and this would be a good law especially if it update the 1993 voter act. Instead, they wrote a complete garbage of a law that forces people to bring there passport to vote, which is complete and utter BS.

---

I've been voting for 50 years and never once needed a passport. In fact, I've never had a passport.

It is absolutely insane and ridiculous that a simple proof of voter eligibility isn't required to vote. The democrats know that they cheat,l and stuff ballot boxes, and have been doing it for eons. Mail in ballots, absentee ballots, provisional ballots, multiple registrations, not removing the dead from voter rolls, etc. this has been their MO for eons. And shame on Republicans for letting them do it!

Three examples:

1) In 2008 there were more votes cast in the Democratic primary in Jim Wells County than there were registered voters. Nothing was done.
2) Mrs. TCR first voted as a young adult in Cameron Country. A few years after her marriage, name change, and registration in another county, her parents still received voter registration cards in the mail in Cameron Country. We called the Registrar in Cameron Country. Nada. We called the Secretary of State. Nada. Her parents still get that illegal card. All she has to do it present it and vote a second time. This is how they steal elections! Nothing has been done!
3) Mrs. TCR's deceased aunt voted in Cameron County by mail-in ballot in 2020 after she died. That's a fact!

This is all ridiculous. The democrats know they've used these mechanisms to commit fraud everywhere. Acorn, Covid, etc. But yet you need an ID to get health care, open a bank account, get a cell phone, get welfare services, the list goes on. But "those" people can't get one to vote? Please. It's a lie.

Shame on Republicans for not shoving this down the Democrats throats. (It'll end up in the courts anyway)

Since the left continuously lies and says this is being done for voter suppression, I can assume now that they are not serious.

Only a sworn attestation is fine? Sounds like another great way for blue states to commit voter fraud. You know their corrupt local officials or Secretary of State won't bother to make sure the attestations are valid.

Should have just required all states to adopt Real ID with an additional identifier on it to differentiate between citizen and legal resident. Scan the driver's license at the voting center to confirm status.

Curious, is the girl behind him just there so he can safeguard his future hairpiece?

Kidding aside, he makes a very effective dismissal of Dum Durbs. Do we know more about this "attestation" option?

Seems like if it is as Mike Lee described, that should shut down opposing arguments.

You can write your confession down and vote, but if it turns out you lied there will be consequences. Your vote likely still counts but you lie and get 5 years in prison.

Seems sensible. Have you looked at the Miss Hawg? Asking respectfully as you dive into the details. I had not heard of what Lee describes.

It is deplorable that people this xenophobic and racist are allowed to post on TexAgs!!!

But yes, that would be an answer. But you will also get those who say this is national ID, infringement of rights, and a sign of the end times because of he "mark of the beast".

It's crazy we think voting is an essential right but Dems say no restrictions.

I think the Florida governor race is the test case that the Democrats fear. Densatis wins his first election by .4% against a pretty terrible candidate that eventually even went to jail. Florida passes voter id and cleans up the voter rolls. 4 years later he wins by 19%. Yes he was more popular but he won precincts that no one thought were even possible.

I still think we are actually 60/40 without fraud in a normal election. The Dems just don't want it figured out.

Mike Lee was on with Laura Ingraham tonight and he alluded to there being enough GOP senators to stage a floor takeover and force the talking filibuster despite Thune's efforts. I'm not sure how that would work, but apparently it is in the works.

Found it:

At least Thune got things started today, not that it will be successful. About 4 hours of R's giving speeches and now a vote to proceed (if they can even muster the 51 votes - see 3rd X post):

No, that's not it. The Senate is voting on a "motion to proceed"—a procedural step to bring the House-passed SAVE America Act (requiring proof of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration) to the floor. It only needs 51 votes.

Murkowski is not a Republican anyway. She's counting on the freeloaders in Alaska to keep her in office. She's their version of John McCain.

Wait... so if you don't have documentation, then the Act simply says you have to give a sworn statement at the voting booth that you are a legal citizen? Is that what Mike Lee is saying here?

If so, then my opinion is this Act is bogus (read: moot) to begin with. We already have an Act that punishes people for lying about their ability to legally vote. What exactly makes this Act any better by comparison?

Quick point of order, not that it matters, but Tillis abstained from the vote and Murkowski voted No.

Have Tillis and Murkowski said why they are against it? I know they are RINO's, but what BS reason have they given to be against it?

Thanks. Par for the course with that useless, republican bunch in the senate.

Thune just said on Fox that there aren't even close to enough votes to eliminate the Filibuster (like 20 Republicans against it) and not even enough to force a standing filibuster, which he says is a bad idea anyway because the democrats will be able to pass some amendments to the bill that would make it totally poison.

On the filibuster his quote was something like "they may want to steal the car, but we aren't going to hand them the keys". I find this utterly ridiculous, as if not making it "easy" for them is going to matter.

Incredibly frustrating.

Well, Thune had better figure something out because there are enough GOP votes in the House to stall everything until they do.

Tell those 20 they will be removed from committees and no funds for re-election campaigns until they fall in line. Tell them he will fund their primary candidates.

If they can't do this, blow the whole ****ing thing up and start from scratch within the GOP

Not sure if Trump is, but Luna and several other GOPs in the House are saying nothing move and they'll attach the SAVE Act to the FISA extension.

Honestly, not from what I am reading, no. It just says someone has to provide proof of citizenship. The whole bill's text is here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/3752/text

Happy to be shown where I may be mistaken, if I am!

Here's a summary of **S. 3752 the SAVE America Act** (119th Congress):

**Full Title:** Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act

**Introduced:** January 29, 2026, by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), along with Sens. Scott (FL), Budd, Banks, and Moody. It was referred to the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration.

---

**What It Does**

The bill amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections. Specifically:

- States would be prohibited from accepting and processing a voter registration application unless the applicant presents documentary proof of U.S. citizenship with the application.

- Acceptable documents include a REAL ID-compliant ID indicating citizenship, a U.S. military ID paired with a service record showing U.S. birth, a government-issued photo ID showing U.S. birthplace, a Naturalization Certificate or Certificate of Citizenship, or an American Indian Card with "KIC" classification.

- Those who register by mail would still be required to present documentary proof of citizenship in person to an election official before being registered.

- The 2026 version also adds a requirement for states to share unredacted voting rolls with the Department of Homeland Security to validate citizenship.

- The bill also requires removal of suspected non-citizens from existing voter rolls, though it does not require prior notification of erroneous removals.

**Legislative Status**

The House passed a version of the SAVE America Act (218213) as an amendment to S. 1383 on February 11, 2026. S. 3752 itself remains in the Senate committee stage.

which is still more than before. they have to request the mail in ballot. also a section in there that the state must verify citizenship on mail in ballots

Vote by mail, men in women's sports and transgender surgeries were all amendments proposed today. Trump asked for these after the house passed their bill.

This week is all political theater by Thune to pretend to appease Trump so he won't endorse Paxton. It's all just to save Cornyn. Without Paxton, this bill wouldn't have even made it to the Senate floor. Thune has 0.00% plans of getting any form of this bill to pass the senate.

Thune doesn't want it to pass. He's working hard against it rather than pressuring people to vote for it. Just another swamp critter willing to thwart the will of 80%+ of American voters.

Trump really goes in deep on issues no one else will touch:
Venezuela
Iran
Cuba
Voter ID
Ukraine
NATO
UN
Gaza
Immigration
Somali crime
DEI
