Clinton is desperately trying to stay relevant. She’s gone down a bizarre path to accomplish that.
Because Hillary Clinton was caught in a huge lie that left her red in the face.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whose failed presidential bids have left her sidelined in Democratic circles, resurfaced with yet another divisive rant against Republicans, falsely claiming their voter integrity bill targets married women—claims swiftly debunked as utter fiction by GOP lawmakers eager to safeguard elections from fraud.
Clinton’s Baseless Attack on GOP Voter Protections
Clinton took to X to stir up controversy following President Trump’s State of the Union push for the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, accusing Republicans of voter suppression tactics aimed at disenfranchising vast swaths of the population.
She posted: “You didn’t have to listen to Trump’s rambling speech last night to know that Republicans are trying to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote—especially married women. They’ve already made it clear. Time to fight back.”
This echoes tired Democratic talking points from figures like Sen. Chuck Schumer and Gov. Gavin Newsom, who have branded the measure “Jim Crow 2.0” without evidence, suggesting it erects insurmountable barriers for married women whose names may differ on documents due to matrimony.
The SAVE Act: Strengthening Elections Against Noncitizen Interference
At its core, the SAVE Act mandates proof of U.S. citizenship—such as a birth certificate, passport, REAL ID, or military ID—for federal voter registration, while empowering states to purge noncitizens from rolls through enhanced data sharing with agencies like the Department of Homeland Security.
It also imposes penalties on noncitizens who attempt to register, addressing Trump’s concerns over illegal voting.
Far from the oppressive scheme Clinton paints, the legislation includes flexible provisions to accommodate everyday realities, like name changes, ensuring legitimate voters aren’t hindered.
The Federalist Society has clarified that the Election Assistance Commission will develop guidelines for additional proofs, such as marriage licenses, to resolve any discrepancies seamlessly.
Republicans Expose Clinton’s Claims as ‘Absolute Nonsense’
GOP representatives wasted no time dismantling Clinton’s narrative, with Rep. Chip Roy labeling the accusations “absolute nonsense” and pointing out the bill’s built-in safeguards.
He explained: “If a woman tried to register to vote with different names on her birth certificate and driver’s license, we literally put in the statute that all you have to do is sign an affidavit under penalty of perjury that, ‘I am that person. This is my birth certificate … and this is my driver’s license that is reflecting my married name.’”
This straightforward fix underscores how Clinton’s fear-mongering ignores the facts, potentially misleading voters for partisan gain while Republicans focus on real threats like noncitizen participation that could undermine electoral trust.
