Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

SAVE will disenfranchise an insane number of people. But, ironically, it is expected to disenfranchise significantly more republicans and "low education voters" as college educated voters are much more likely to have an income that makes international travel (and thus passports) viable. And... Brown People(TM) have been getting their papers in order for years.
But its also very important to understand: We have already seen the plan for January. The chuds just won't swear in any new democrats (except for platner, of course).
This seems more like a hypothesis of yours rather than a well-understood expectation. Let me get this straight: you think the SAVE act is going to protect voting rights of previously-disenfranchised voters? That seems unlikely, and i dont think many share your theory.
What do you mean by this? Are you saying people of color are unique positioned to gain from the SAVE act? Why do you think this?

In short, it seems like youre shrugging off this issue to "they'll never achieve this" at a time when it is increasingly clear that the right has the power to do pretty much whatever they want - most often successfully.
