It contends that his claims-such as the bill being \u201cJim Crow 2.0\u201d and causing tens of millions to lose the right to vote or requiring passports or birth certificates-are not supported by the bill\u2019s text or by official standards. The article notes that acceptable proof of citizenship can include REAL ID-compliant state IDs, and cites Congress.gov and TSA information to show broad REAL ID compliance across states. It also references a Pew Research poll showing strong public support (about 83%) for government-issued ID to vote.<\/p>\n<p>The piece disputes Schumer\u2019s assertion that the act would eliminate mail-in voting,pointing to provisions that provide accommodations for disabled voters and to statements from NBC News indicating the bill would add steps for mail voting rather than halt it entirely. It mentions sensational social media posts and claims about an army of AI-driven purges, clarifying that such components are not in the legislation or in government practice. The article explains that the act would remove ineligible voters-such as noncitizens and deceased individuals-from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/as-competent-at-this-as-she-has-been-securing-the-southern-border-crenshaw-rips-biden-directing-kamala-to-fight-gop-voter-bills\/\" title=\"\u2018As Competent At This As She Has Been Securing The Southern Border\u2019: Crenshaw Rips Biden Directing Kamala To Fight GOP ...r Bills\">registration rolls<\/a> and allow provisional ballots if citizenship is later verified,arguing that accurate,trustworthy voter rolls are beneficial and that fears about the process are largely fear-mongering aimed at political gain.  <\/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<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer admitted on camera that the main reason he opposes the SAVE America Act is that it requires states to clean up their voter rolls, ensuring only those eligible to vote are listed.<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic leader actually listed a series of falsehoods when arguing against the passage of the legislation.<\/p>\n<p>First, Schumer said, &ldquo;The Save Act is Jim Crow 2.0.

So you could show up at the polling place this November, and they could say, &lsquo;You&rsquo;re no longer on the rolls.&rsquo; They don&rsquo;t even notify you of it,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>First, there is no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/doge-doesnt-exist-with-eight-months-left-its-charter-2025-11-23\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Department of Government Efficiency<\/a> anymore, nor does Elon Musk work for the government.<\/p>\n<p>Again, according to Congress.gov, the Save America Act requires that states must remove noncitizens from their official lists of eligible voters, as well as others <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/119th-congress\/house-bill\/7296\/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ineligible<\/a> to vote, like dead people.<\/p>\n<p>So if you are a noncitizen who previously registered to vote, you could show up at the polling place and find out you&rsquo;re no longer on the rolls, as Schumer said, and that&rsquo;s a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>If somehow voters were wrongfully removed from the registration rolls, which in all likelihood would be a very rare occurrence, they could still pull out their REAL ID and be issued a provisional ballot, which election officials would count once they confirmed their citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/119th-congress\/house-bill\/7296\/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legislation<\/a> specifically states that nothing in its provisions &ldquo;may be construed to supercede, restrict, or otherwise affect the ability of an individual to cast a provisional ballot in an election for Federal office or to have the ballot counted in the election if the individual is verified as a citizen of the United States.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The upside of having trustworthy voter rolls far outweighs whatever occasional glitches might occur in the clean-up process.<\/p>\n<p>So Schumer, as he often does, was engaging in fear-mongering because he&rsquo;s apparently concerned that if the voter rolls are kept current, it will hurt the Democrats&rsquo; chances to win elections.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !

In arguing against the bill, he also makes a series of claims the article views as false.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Schumer called the bill \u201cJim Crow 2.0,\u201d claiming it would strip millions of people of the right to vote and force voters to show a passport or birth certificate. The article notes that the bill accepts any proof of citizenship that complies with the REAL ID Act of 2005. It cites Transportation Security Administration data saying all U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories have REAL ID-compliant driver licenses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The piece cites a Pew Research Center poll showing 83% of Americans support showing government-issued ID to vote, suggesting Schumer\u2019s first claim is factually incorrect and contrary to public opinion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Schumer also asserted the act would eliminate vote-by-mail. The article counters this by noting the bill already provides for accommodations for voters with disabilities and that it would still involve mail voting, though with stricter in-person citizenship proof and photocopying of IDs for mail ballots, according to NBC News.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The article discusses a social-media post by Donald Trump reinforcing the claim that the act would purge the rolls with an AI system run by Elon Musk. It notes there is no government AI purge system; in reality, the act requires removing ineligible voters (including noncitizens and the dead) from official rolls. If a noncitizen who had registered to vote is found, they would be removed, and a provisional ballot could be used if citizenship is later verified. The text of the act also states that nothing would prevent someone who is verified as a U.S. citizen from having their provisional ballot counted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The author argues that keeping accurate voter rolls is beneficial, and any glitches in the cleanup process are worth it. The piece characterizes Schumer\u2019s objections as fear-mongering aimed at protecting Democratic electoral prospects.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The passage also contains embedded and extraneous elements (ads, widgets, and other code) that are not essential to the argument<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2578860,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Chuck-Schumer.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[5894,75195,4411,50531,32643],"class_list":["post-2578859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-politics","tag-save-america-act-2","tag-schumer","tag-video-2","tag-voter-rolls"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Chuck-Schumer.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2578859"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578859\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2578863,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578859\/revisions\/2578863"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2578860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2578859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2578859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2578859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
