- Widespread Errors: An expanded federal tool for identifying noncitizens on voter rolls is making persistent mistakes, particularly in assessing citizenship for people born outside the U.S.
- Banned From Voting: In Missouri, state officials told local clerks to temporarily ban flagged voters from casting ballots, even though hundreds turned out to be citizens.
- Texas Confusion: As errors emerged in SAVE data, local clerks said the state hadn’t provided them with clear guidance and worried about disenfranchising eligible citizens.
Given that only 22 noncitizens over the course of like 10 years (can’t remember the exact statistic) tried to vote, the way to get the best accuracy would be to just hard code the answer to “yes, they can vote”. Then you get over 99.99% accuracy.

It’s a feature, not a bug.

This is how political cleansing begins. Once the system is turned on, voting for anything slightly left will cast you as a criminal of the state.

This has happened all over there US already. Someone challenges your right to vote and it’s your job to prove your eligibility. Can’t show up to your appointment? No ID? No bills going to that address? Only have a PO Box address? No voting for you!

And still, americans believe the democrats will win… Even after everything in the past, everything being said in the present, they’re still only going to protest.

What do you want Americans to do? Start an open insurrection? Do you really realize how many thousand of people would die the instant a semi-armed civilian led force tried to fight back?
