the franchise is a sacrament, not a device to be manipulated. but from a purely sociopathic perspective, wouldn’t the SAVE Act be just terrible for MAGA? there are not in fact a lot of illegals voting. 1/

i guess the theory is the extra burden on married women who changed names (birth certificate + marriage license) would discourage more lib-voting women than the whole doc requirement would discourage the low information, weakly partisan voters who are MAGA’s margin? 2/

it’s a betrayal of the democratic ethos, which thirsts for universal participation. but on its own cynical terms, it seems like a risky bet. /fin
