The Save Act

Matt Gagnon discussed Representative Jared Golden’s support for the Save Act, which requires proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration. Golden argued that the bill accommodates name changes and maintains fair elections. Gagnon criticized Chili Pingree for fear-mongering, citing Georgia and Texas as examples where voter ID laws did not decrease participation. He emphasized that voter ID is not a barrier and does not disenfranchise voters. Gagnon also highlighted the elitism of the Democratic Party, noting their wealth and education contrast with middle-class and rural voters. He concluded by discussing insider trading concerns in Congress.
