Marc Elias: The SAVE America Act: Trump's Scheme to Steal the 2026 Elections




Mar 17, 2026 #VotingRights #MarcElias #VoterSuppression

The SAVE America Act isn't about securing free and fair elections — it's actually the opposite. It’s about stealing the 2026 midterms. Marc Elias breaks down exactly how this voter suppression bill works, and why millions of Americans could lose their right to vote.

Most people think this just requires an ID. That’s why polls suggest people support this. They don’t know anything about requiring a birth certificate or passport to register or the Feds having the opportunity to purge voter rolls.

It is Trump's plan to abolish the secret ballot.

When you vote, everyone will be able to see how you voted and know it was you.

This allows Trump to direct specific retribution against you and revoke your citizenship.

NONE OF THAT IS TRUE.

But in Trump's America it should be entirely plausible.

Fear and misinformation are what will make the decisive difference in defeating the bill.

All any ethical person needs to do is agree that this criticism is COMPLETELY UNTRUE.

Yet claim--in Trumpian fashion--that the public is concerned because of the damage he himself has done to their trust.
