Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, are blocking the SAVE Act—a commonsense measure requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration—to shield potential election fraud and non-citizen voting. Schumer falsely labels it "Jim Crow 2.0," echoing debunked claims against Georgia's election law that actually boosted record Black turnout. With over 80% of Americans supporting citizenship verification, critics argue Democrats prioritize lax rules over secure elections, inviting chaos like California's failed systems.
