Longtime Democrat Party political operative Hillary Clinton has sparked backlash for blatantly lying about the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.
Passed by the House on Thursday with the help of four brave Democrats, the SAVE Act would simply require voters to prove their citizenship status before they can vote.
It’s a bill that’s backed by the majority of the American people. A Gallup poll released late last year specifically found that 83 percent of respondents favor requiring proof of citizenship when registering to vote.
Someone explain to me how 84% of Americans support Voter ID, and 83% support “Proof of Citizenship” to vote, but 208 Democrats (almost half of Congress), just voted against both.#SAVEAct

Yet this fact didn’t stop Clinton from publishing a ridiculous tweet Thursday afternoon, absurdly claiming that the just-passed bill promotes “voter suppression,” especially for married women.
“Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don’t match their birth certificates,” she wrote. “Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.”

Here’s the catch: She made it so that only people she follows or previously mentioned can directly reply to her post.
Clinton was, of course, lying.
“Under the SAVE Act, those individuals (i.e., most) who have updated their documentary proof of citizenship (which can include things like a REAL ID, passport, or government-issued identification with their place of birth), no action is needed, and they can register to vote,” a fact-sheet from Sen. Mike Lee reads.
“For the small fraction of individuals who have not yet updated their documentation to reflect a name change, which most do immediately for other life purposes, the SAVE Act explicitly directs states to establish a process for them to register to vote irrespective of those discrepancies. Like other areas of the law, citizens will be able to use combinations of existing identification documents, certificates of birth from the state, and other similar documentation to demonstrate citizenship. No one will be left unable to register to vote due to a name change,” it continues.
Anyone with a fourth-grade reading level can see that Hillary Clinton is not telling the truth about this bill.

A number of critics were quick to slam Clinton over her latest lie, including Sen. Lee.
“If [what she wrote] were true—and it’s definitely not—the same women would be unemployable as they’d be unable to complete an I-9, which requires proof of citizenship,” he tweeted. “Her argument proves too much, is refuted by the plain text of the bill, and cannot withstand review.”
Correct.
The Heritage Foundation also spoke up.
“Most women have IDs other than their birth certificates, & the SAVE Act includes a provision to ensure that discrepancies between a woman’s married name & the name on her birth certificate can be resolved,” the foundation tweeted. “The SAVE Act only suppresses cheaters.”

@HillaryClinton when you limit your comments on posts, it just means you’re lying.

She turned off the comments of course. The only reason anyone would vote against this Bill is to cheat and steal elections. Hillary is lying once again. Democrats will not be able to survive without cheating in our elections.

Hillary Clinton along with her left wing friends is lying once again. Nothing being said here or posted by Hillary regarding married women having difficulty voting is true (if it were they couldn’t get passports or real ID drivers licenses).
