4. My point is the con is going to use the SOTU to push his unconstititional takeover of our elections

He knows there aren't votes to bring it to the floor, at this current moment. But he will depend on the media to discuss this as if it's somehow a legitimate and honest issue that is up for debate which will make the public believe it is. It isn't. But some in the media are already being negligent in their reporting. e.g. "Voter ID is popular in polling" is not an adequate or accurate discussion on what the SAVE Act is.

On another note, if you are going to start every conversation with me with a subtle insult, I'm going to stop engaging with you. I'm not willing to take this attempted move to federalize our elections and give all the control to this con artist lightly.

My Attorney General isn't taking it lightly either.

“The right to vote in free and fair elections has long been a critical part of our democracy,” said Attorney General James. “The SAVE America Act is an unconstitutional power grab that would dismantle modern voter registration systems and block millions of eligible Americans from the ballot box. Congress cannot invent a problem to justify stripping states of their authority and disenfranchising lawful voters.”
