Sen. Lee Stands for SAVE America Act: March 21st

Published | Video Starts at 1:17:59

From a political appointee in the Democratic Party at the Department of Justice. They were wildly unconstitutional. They would have changed all kinds of things like voter registration deadlines. It actually stripped the state legislatures of their constitutionally derived power to draw congressional District boundaries. So for them to argue federalism here, give me the biggest break. This makes absolutely no sense. He makes the argument that this bill, the Save America act, is not about election security, it's about disenfranchisement. (1:17:59–1:18:09)
