This is already law. Idiots.

I'm beyond exhausted of all these lies to energize their base. The GOP is so full of shit - they have nothing to offer Americans but lies and propaganda. They do nothing to benefit anyone but themselves and special interest groups.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A new voter ID bill aimed to keep illegal migrants from voting for President Biden in the 2024 election cleared the House, with the help of several Democrats.

Speaker Mike Johnson insisted legislation to make voters prove their citizenship could be one of the 'most important' bills to go through Congress in a lifetime.

Democrat Joe Morelle, D-N.Y., said the bill is an 'overt effort' to 'make Americans believe elections are rife with faud,' calling it a 'scare tactic.'

Johnson joined Trump world heavyweights Stephen Miller and Hogan Gidley and Rep. Chip Roy to get the legislation across the finish line in the House.

Non-citizens who vote in federal and state elections are already breaking the law and putting themselves at risk of jail or deportation.

Miller, the architect of Trump's immigration policy, called the bill the 'most important vote that most members of Congress take in their entire careers.'

The original article contains 665 words, the summary contains 146 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
