Even #DHSBarbie is chiming in! #WhiteSupremacist!!! Oh, and I think they quoted her wrong. I believe what she said was that "to make sure we have the WHITE people voting, electing the WHITE leaders.' "
"Secretary of Homeland Security #KristiNoem doubled down on her assertion that her department assists in election security Sunday, telling critics that they were creating fake outrage after she asserted the 'right people' would elect 'the right leaders.'
"Over the weekend, lawmakers, democracy advocates and political commentators raised alarm bells at Noem’s claim that her department, which oversees domestic security and immigration, played a role in safeguarding elections 'to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders.'

AP: Nonprofit libraries ordered by State Department to stop processing passport applications
Politics Feb 13, 2026 7:51 PM EST
NORWICH, Conn. (AP) — The U.S. State Department has ordered certain public libraries nationwide to cease processing passport applications, disrupting a long-standing service that librarians say their communities have come to rely on and that has run smoothly for years....
"When KS🚨did a version of the #SaveAct, it purged ~40 ineligible voters - & stopped 31K legal citizens from registering to vote (12% of all applicants). That's 775 legal voters lost for every 1 ineligible voter."
-J Reidl
"Are you one of nearly 70M American women who changed their names when they got married? 🙋♀️
Republicans in Congress want to make it harder for you to vote."

"The SAVE Act would impose so-called proof of citizenship, which is really just a fancy way of saying, 'we don’t want young people and married women who change their last names to be able to register to vote.'”

"The SAVE Act is a massive attack on voting rights from a party that doesn’t want every American to be able to vote. The Capitol switchboard phone number, where you can ask to be connected to your senators’ offices, is (202) 224-3121."

The USA is currently proposing the #SAVEAct , which places further restrictions on what kind of identification you need for being able to vote.
For the sake of comparison, in Germany it's technically not necessary to show an ID when voting - you need to show your "Wahlbenachrichtigung", your notification about the election which you have received by mail. You need to register your legal residence in Germany anyway, so you should receive this notification automatically for all elections in which you are eligible.
However, if the organizers have any doubts about your identity, they can ask for some photo ID. This is typically done via the "Personalausweis" - a personal ID card which is mandatory to own in Germany. For people aged 24 or older, this costs €46 to renew, and it is valid for 10 years. It is also valid for travel within all #EuropeanUnion member countries, so you don't need a travel passport for those.
A travel passport is also valid for this purpose. It costs €70, and is also valid for 10 years.
69 million women shouldn't have to choose between their married name and their right to vote. The #SAVEAct is a direct attack on the 19th Amendment. Let’s stop #HR22 before it stops us. 🗳️🚫 #StopTheSAVEAct #WomenVoters #VoteReady

U.S. CITIZENS ABROAD & CITIZENS IN THE US:
Please contact your state Senators like I just did and tell them NOT TO PASS the SAVE Act (H.R. 22).
IT ALREADY PASSED THE HOUSE!
This is clearly voter suppression.
If it passes the Senate, U.S. citizens may have to show not just a driver’s license, but ADDITIONAL proof of citizenship to vote (including a certified U.S. birth certificate, or a current U.S. Passport, or a Consular Report of Birth Abroad or a Report of Birth of a U.S. citizen issued by the Secretary of State, or a Naturalization Certificate or Certificate of Citizenship issued by the Secretary of Homeland Security).
Imagine what kind of chaos that would cause on Election Day in districts where polling stations are few, with voting officials, or even ICE holding up the line, causing a scene, checking your papers before you can get a ballot, telling you there’s something wrong with your documents, delaying the voting process so others don’t get a chance. Know that this is part of the plan.
If you’re married, an adoptee or someone who changed your name, I genuinely hope your current name is the same on all those documents. If it’s not, this bill will mess things up for you.
For those of us overseas, if the SAVE Act passes the Senate, depending on the laws of our home states, we could lose our right to vote in our home state elections! (Some states require proof of active residency. Should you qualify to vote as a U.S. citizen but not as a resident of your state, the proposal is for your vote to be counted under the District of Columbia (D.C.). Are you from D.C.? Are you a resident of D.C.? If not and you still have ties to your home community, let your Senators know A.S.A.P.!)
