Some claim that requiring proof of citizenship is too onerous a burden, or that it will "disenfranchise" those whose names have changed for reasons like marriage (or divorce). The truth is the SAVE Act ensures name changes will not prevent anyone from registering to vote.
Comments
You have ZERO evidence that non-citizens are voting in your state but you continue to be a performative circus clown 🤡
Do you realize that voting for the bill means that ALL OF THE STATES will have it, not just Maine?
You disingenuous fucking stain.
Just admit you've turned MAGAT, liar
Do you know total MILLIONS people who don’t have their basic birth documents in US?
Or how difficult it is for native Indians in their country already?
Women who change names at marriage?
IS THIS A FUNDED MANDATE?
Voting should be free.
Poll tax in the form of mandatory passport purchase?
And he’s worried about non-citizens voting?
Bugger off, Jared.
Your cocky attitude about how challenging this will be for voters will not go unnoticed.
You have just cost millions of women the right to vote!!!
What did the GOP pay you???
You are not worthy of being called a democrat!! You voted with the fascists!!
I hope, you rot in hell!!!
Disenfranchising voters doesn't boad well for your legacy.
I stand with Gov. Mills at least she isn't afraid of him and neither are we. Cutting NOAA.
You do not represent the family's who earn an honest living in the Gulf of Maine. Lobstering family talking here
You’re doing this because you’re scared. Scared you will be voted out.
YOU
YOU ARE HELPING TO CREATE THOSE BARRIERS!!!!!!
YOU DUDE.
YOU HAVE ONE FREAKING JOB....
PROTECT YOUR CONSTITUENTS AND YOU FAILED
Which means they will sell out for anything.
Like Jared Golden.
Oh, I get it. You're from Maine which very well produce the very worst politicians of any state.
except, the majority of married women in your state
B) are you going to pay for people to replace their licenses? Request documents? Time off work to go in? Do you care about voters in less benign states?
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
The SAVE Act is unconstitutional on its face. Sad you weren't aware of that.
https://youtube.com/shorts/8LoS4BEEtwE?si=KvqIzhmDLXlv-6Y6
This guy voted for a whole country to be affected by this law not just his state.
👇 Speaking to Golden
So it's either that or the alternative.
Good job boot licker.
You belong in the State house, not as a federal Congressman if you can't protect all of it's citizens.
Until everyone votes by mail or Election Day is a holiday, there will always be disenfranchised citizens.
But this will make it worse.
Tens of MILLIONS of eligible citizens DIDN'T vote in 2024.
But MILLIONS of ineligible aliens voted or are dying to vote?
If that were true, you probably owe your job to them.
(Many who have voted for decades)
Please explain that now and here.
Step by step. Waiting.
Only 46% of Mainers have passports. Only 25% of Mainers have Real IDs.
And the part of Maine's voting culture that I am most proud off: Same-day voter registration.
It was a SCOTUS from a bi-gone era, the Voting Rights Act, and the 24th Amendment that corrected that error.
Americans and Mainers can't afford you not understanding that the Save Act takes us backwards not forward.
Why should we take you seriously?
https://www.yahoo.com/news/house-democrat-says-hed-vote-163316298.html
This guy is too dumb to do a 10-second Google search.
Might as well have said, "Golden doesn't give a flying f*ck about Americans 401K's."
This is purely voter suppression.
If I have to get a passport just to vote: isn't that a POLL TAX? On top of the $$$$ that passports cost, what about the cost of my time? Gathering documents, getting a photo, making the appt. at the post office, etc. etc.

You've been warned about how this could harm women for months, but you havent done anything to fix the problem.
I cannot believe i have to argue with you about women's suffrage!
How many in the country?
When you go to register a
With a driver's license who much do you need!
I think you made a mistake.
You should be ashamed
And you should be primaried.
How many people will go to that kind of trouble to vote? The threat of jail for the election workers is almost worse than this law but this is why NO ONE should vote for its passage, especially a Democrat!
Have you noticed how red states are doing everything they can to make voting difficult?
Gerrymandering, eliminating mail in voting, purging voter rolls. Mostly affecting POC.
You just helped the GOP win.
States should not allowed to establish "protocols" for registration. That is what segregationists and conservatives did to Black Americans to prevent them from voting.
You have just disenfranchised Women seeking that “proof of citizenship.”
You have just disenfranchised women who live paycheck to paycheck!
Wow!! What a disappointment u are!
The “several different ways” are a birth certificate and your ID must match the name on your birth certificate. A passport. And military papers, not military ID.
And not just free, but also easy to get and not requiring a lot of time because people have to work.
Or what?
Who's going to enforce? In what courts? On what TIMELINE?
Get familiar with the terms "responsibility" and "consequences", you reckless arse.
Definitely get a head start on job hunting
How do you expect this to work?
Seriously, tell me what you expect a state to do.
POLL TAX.
And we ALL know that deferring to the states re: voter access ALWAYS works. 🙄

Please.......
Get your head .......ss.
Why can't we have automatic voter registration for every citizen and compulsory voting like many other countries?
It's the 21st century.
In other countries there are systems where every single citizen gets an invite & all they have to do is ID themselves when they come to vote.
SAVE is making it harder for people to vote and you're ok with that - that's scary
He needs to answer for it
And let’s hope he’s gone in a primary
Who's paying you?
Second, let’s get real. Did you fund the bill? Did the bill include money to support the infrastructure required to implement the requirements? When does it take effect? Do voting officials have the resources necessary to create forms, systems, processes? No. They don’t
NOT IN ARKANSAS!!
He is the enemy of democracy and the American people. His goal is to bring the USA to its knees to establish a christo-fascist theocracy.
Fight back.
Jared is a straight white man.
Jared still has the same name he was born with.
Jared is young enough that there is a birth certificate matching the name on his driver's license.
Jared won't have any trouble showing his papers.
Jared's privilege is showing.
Don't be like Jared.
WAKE UP, JARED - this isn't 1945!!! Misogynistic asshole!
Also respond to this with good data and I’ll listen

You're "solving" a problem that doesn't exist, and sticking the states -- including your own! -- with the tab.
And you know there are states that will do the absolute statutory minimum to comply, in favor of disenfranchising their least-favored citizens.
does he not have a married woman in his life who had to get a Real ID license? We did this!
I don’t want a passport. I want my US ID, complete with a background check & documents that verified I was born here to be good enough! This is insane.
Go back to grade school for some civics classes, you voting tax freak.
how any dem could vote for you, is beyond me.
A) for free
B) on weekends
Except it’s actually MORE disenfranchising because government offices close after working hours.
At minimum wage, that’s $83 for the right to vote, which many couldn’t afford. I’d bet my ass you’ve spent more on a single entree.
Lying is a sin bro. Maybe shut up till you get right with your god.

Enjoy being primaried
Fuck off you lying sack of dog shit, you're gonna lose your phony-baloney job and you can go back to sucking dick as a lobbyist which it seems was your real reason for being I office.
Seriously, you fucking suck
All asked Biden to step down and replaced by Harris. They knew no candidate ever won when changed during primary
https://mcgovern.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=400123
...Have you considered Therapy, Jared?
Too many people don’t have a passport. Why wouldn’t a marriage certificate suffice? Why should women have to carry a copy of their birth certificate with them to register to vote when men don’t have to?
You done fucked up.
Did I mention you done fucked up?
Fucking embarrassing
I just got mine 2 months ago.

#SaveAct
The Save Act is the only thing that can save Republicans from going extinct.
But it's fascist AF!
FCK all those who voted for it including the Dems!
Leader Jeffries, get these rogue Dems in line!
and it was either vote Golden or don't vote at all. He was centrist during his first term and has gone full repub this time with little warning.
Disgusting.
Do you support the John Lewis Voting Rights Act?
Good thing we can see you're soooo very trustworthy! Not like you're licking the boots of the maga crowd or anything! Oh, wait....
I hope you choke on pubes.
Time to start primaries Democrats

Senior legal fellow Cleta Mitchell of the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI), a former legal advisor to Donald Trump, was the founder of the Election Integrity Network…..
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EagleAI_NETwork
This is not needed or helpful and will be an effective pole tax on legal citizens
THAT was disenfranchisement - the state lost - and this is too, even worse.
Oh wait…
No?
Then shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down, you lying shitbag motherfucker.
Usually on highways on outskirts of towns only served by public transportation once an hour, or three if you are unlucky.
SSI offices on the other side of town also on the highway with no way to walk there safely.
You will never be American.
A passport REQUIRES that a woman prove change of name with certified documents
birth certificate, marriage licen(s), divorce decrees
CERTIFIED DOCUMENTS all at a cost that no male has to incur
YOU STUPID PUTZ
You're a lying asshole!
“Too onerous” “Disenfranchise”
Like they’re not real things.
Again, fuck you.

Trying to get a job appointment from Trump or are you really this fucking clueless?
It doesn't do one thing to make voting more accessible; it only make it less accessible.
You may be stupid, but we are not.
As an option you can get a new birth certificate issued with your married name. How convenient is that?
Why are women solely being penalized for honoring patriarchical tradition of taking their husbands last name? F that.
I had to drive over 100 miles to get somewhere that I could actually turn in my paperwork.

Btw, non-citizen voter fraud is a non-issue. It happens maybe 10 times in a decade. Election fraud committed by citizens is vastly more common, but you racists don't care about that.
"The truth is" you voted to enable the suppression of votes of millions of Americans including the poor, the elderly, and especially women.
We will not forget.
On the other? Don’t change your name, add ten minutes to every school pickup when there’s a sub and total confusion on field trips. Which you still chaperone!
Would you lose valuable campaign name recognition in that change? So many records to update, so many documents you’d have to pay to get reissued as “Jared Moiles”.
Go change your name. Then I’ll take you seriously.
It disenfranchises women and men like my husband who also have changed their names.
I also can’t get a passport because I owe the IRS some peanuts because enforcing on the working poor is how we pay for broligarch tax cuts.
PS - that “real ID” crap is also disenfranchising.
