Description

In this solo commentary episode, we break down the rapid evolution of federal voting legislation—tracing the line from the SAVE Act and SAVE America Act to the proposed "Make Elections Great Again" (MEGA) Act. We take a deep dive into an article published by the Communist Party USA regarding how these mandatory proof-of-citizenship requirements directly threaten the voting rights of Native American and Indigenous communities. From ignoring tribal identification cards to violating tribal sovereignty, we examine the logistical and legal barriers these bills place on voters in rural and tribal lands. Plus, we look at the broader implications of monthly voter purges, public disenfranchisement lists, and why local and parish/county elections matter now more than ever. Key Topics Covered: Breakdown of the SAVE, SAVE America, and MEGA Acts Tribal sovereignty, dual citizenship, and the rejection of Tribal IDs Historical parallels: The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 Why voter fraud statistics don't align with restrictive voting policy The critical role of state, parish, and municipal elections CPUSA's rebuke of the SAVE America Act Explainer: SAVE,SAVE America, and MEGA Acts H.R.7300 - Make Elections Great Again ActMEGA Act moves in House; NACo raises county concerns Voting By Noncitizens is a Non-IssueElection Fraud Map
