Mike Lee: “The Save America act works to verify and protect the votes…”

“The threat of non citizen voting, the mere potential for it, violates these standards. Citizens should not have the force of their vote, the meaning of their vote, deluded, bastardized, adulterated by non citizen participation. The Save America act works to verify and protect the votes of American citizens. Now here comes another one. An argument that is also really sophomoric is probably too polite, but I'll use that term for the moment, that somehow the Save America act will suppress voters generally, but protect Republicans.” (1:01:58–1:02:05)
