On March 28, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights (LCCHR) sent a letter to Congress urging opposition to the GOP-sponsored SAVE Act.This act seeks to eliminate loopholes in federal laws that could allow foreign nationals to vote. Critics of the SAVE Act,including the 112 organizations that signed the letter,argued that it could disproportionately disenfranchise voters of color and perpetuate myths about voter fraud.<\/p>\n<p>The analysis conducted by retired data scientist Earl Glynn shows that many of the organizations opposing the SAVE Act have received significant funding from soros-backed foundations,specifically the Open Society foundations (OSF). the OSF is known for its considerable financial contributions to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/antifa-blm-vandalize-ice-building-burn-original-starbucks\/\" title=\"Antifa, BLM vandalize ICE building, burn original Starbucks\">left-wing groups<\/a>. As an example, the LCCHR itself has received millions from the OSF, with grants aimed at supporting advocacy related to voting rights.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, several other prominent leftist organizations that opposed the SAVE Act have also been identified as beneficiaries of Soros\u2019s philanthropy, highlighting a partisan angle to their activism under the guise of defending civil rights. The discourse surrounding the SAVE Act and the funding sources of these organizations point to a contentious debate over voter access and integrity in the United States.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>More than 40 left-wing organizations (and\/or some of their affiliates) opposing Republican efforts to prevent noncitizen voting in U.S. elections have collectively received more than $150 million from groups funded by leftist billionaire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.influencewatch.org\/person\/george-soros\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">George Soros<\/a>, a new analysis reveals.<\/p>\n<p>On March 28, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights (LCCHR) released a <a href=\"https:\/\/civilrights.org\/resource\/civil-rights-groups-oppose-the-save-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">letter<\/a> directed at members of Congress, asking them to oppose the GOP-sponsored <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/119th-congress\/house-bill\/22\/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SAVE Act<\/a>, which aims to close&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/05\/13\/without-the-save-act-the-only-thing-keeping-foreigners-from-voting-is-the-honor-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">existing loopholes<\/a>&nbsp;in federal law that foreign nationals could exploit to register and cast ballots in U.S. elections.
