Republicans are pushing the SAVE Act not to stop voter fraud, but to disenfranchise millions of women & minorities. Since 1992, women have voted blue by 4 to 13 points. Rather than change policy to earn women's votes, they're changing rules to prevent women's votes. That's dictatorship. That's MAGA.
