Save America Act desperately needed

Minnesota just proved the need for the SAVE America Act

Watch how easy Minnesota just made voter fraud look, and tell yourself the SAVE America Act isn't needed for national and election security.

James O'Keefe and Cam Higby went undercover at Minneapolis polling places on the state's primary day, dressed in Muslim attire and using broken Arab accents, and simply asked poll workers what it would take to vote without ID. You already know what the answer was going to be.

Under Minnesota law, one registered voter can "vouch" for up to eight other people at the polls--with zero photo ID required. "If you're all in the same precinct and you have already registered, you can vouch for them as ID. Eight people," one poll worker told O'Keefe on hidden camera. Another told him simply: "You're the ID."

No ballots were cast and no affidavits were signed, but the ridiculous holes in the elections system were exposed. The videos prove that Minnesota's own election workers were ready to wave eight strangers through the door on nothing but a different stranger's word.

But instead of thanking the two citizen journalists for catching a hole in the system before it got exploited for real, Democrat Secretary of State Steve Simon turned around and threatened them. Not the poll workers who said "you're the ID." Not the statute that makes this possible in 50 states with similar loopholes. He threatened the guys who exposed it

That's the whole ballgame in one reaction: protect the vulnerability, punish the people who found it. This is exactly why the SAVE America Act, requiring actual proof of citizenship to register and a real photo ID at the polls, no exceptions, isn't some far-right fever dream.

It's the bare minimum a functioning republic with democratically held elections requires, and Minnesota just proved it in living color.
