Whoopi Pushes Fact-Check on SAVE Act… Then It Backfires
Whoopi Goldberg critiques the SAVE Act's citizenship proof requirements, arguing that tying voter ID to Homeland Security burdens married women needing name changes. She dismisses 0.0003% fraud statistics as bureaucratic overreach compared to speeding tickets, attributing Trump's mail-in voting opposition to fears of impeachment after losing 58% of such votes in 2020. While noting Nevada lacks ID mandates and 146 million Americans lack passports, she claims Democrats use voter ID as a talking point while ignoring welfare fraud in sanctuary states like Minnesota and California. Ultimately, the discussion suggests political motivations drive voting restrictions more than actual election integrity concerns. [Automatically generated summary]

Proof of Citizenship for Voting00:08:05
So, the view just had a meltdown about the Save Act.
Check this video out.
Here's something even more ridiculous.
There could be major changes on the horizon to the U.S. voting rights.
The Supreme Court just heard arguments on limiting mail in ballots.
And yesterday, you know who pressured Republicans to pass the so called Save America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote.
Take a look.
I'm tying Homeland Security into voter identification with picture.
And proof of citizenship in order to vote.
And those two items are the most important thing having to do with Homeland Security.
So it should be part of the Homeland Security Bill.
And I'm requesting that the Republican senators do that immediately.
You don't have to take a fast vote.
Don't worry about Easter going home.
In fact, make this one for Jesus, okay?
Make this one for Jesus.
That's what I tell them.
Jesus.
So he needs to take Jesus' name out of his mouth.
Yes.
That's right.
Jesus had his own.
Wow.
You know, this is not a good idea for so many different reasons.
I'll start with just the most obvious.
If you're a married person, if you're a married woman, this means you now have to go find, if you've been married 50, 60 years, you got to go back, find your birth certificate, you got to change your name because the name on your ID right now is the name of your husband.
That's not good enough.
Right.
The other thing I want to tell you is that read this number for me because I'm not sure.
0.0003.
Oh, we had a higher number over here.
Oh, 0.003.
Is what?
Is the percent of voter fraud found in this country?
Zero.
That's the voter fraud found.
If a cop pulls over five people for speeding for the week, does it mean he caught everybody who was speeding?
Is there any kind of bureaucracy that's out there trying to track down illegal voting and whoever committed that crime?
Of course not.
Of course not.
And then another thing about the whole marriage thing, it's a simple fix marriage certificate.
Yeah, that's why they give you a marriage certificate.
And a birth certificate, if you don't have it, all you have to do is order it.
You could do all this stuff online a lot of times.
It's called personal responsibility.
Yeah.
What is it?
0.0003.
Now, that's too high.
He won in 16, right?
He lost in 20.
In 20.
And he won in 24.
So where is the fraud?
I don't understand.
You lost one and spent years saying you won it.
Is it because you have to win?
You need people to tell you you won?
If that will save this BS from going down, okay, you won.
What are you doing?
I think one of the reasons why he's attacking mail in voting in particular is because when he did lose in 2020, 58% of the mail in votes were Democratic votes.
And traditionally, Republicans voted by mail.
So in 2020, when that sort of flipped, now.
The president is thinking.
Because there was COVID.
There was a pandemic.
But in his thinking, it's Democrats now use mail in voting.
We're going to cut that off.
He looks at this.
His thought process is that if he doesn't win the mishap, he's in a lot of trouble because the Democrats will impeach him.
And it's possible that he could go to jail.
That's what this is really about.
The breaking point on this is the 85% of Americans agree with voter ID, like bringing some form of identification.
There's not proof of citizenship.
So that's the breaking point is when you require that.
Passport.
The risk of undocumented people voting is 0.0003.
The impact of this policy is huge.
Yes.
This is the problem here is that I think it's like some 146 million Americans don't possess a valid passport.
Like, you don't need a passport.
All you need is a birth certificate.
Yeah, or a marriage certificate.
Now, if you want to make everything a lot easier, passport, it solves identification and citizenship.
Yeah.
But if you have your birth certificate, yeah, that's fine.
That's all you need.
The passport's expensive.
And your driver's license.
A lot of people don't have a passport.
So that's the point they're trying to make.
But all you need is your birth certificate.
Yeah.
We already have barely over half of America participating in these elections.
50% of the people are going to vote for a foul.
He's the one that said, if you just find me, 11,000 votes.
He's the only person I've ever heard say anything like that out loud.
And all of the presidents we've had, I believe there were like 42 or something.
What?
They've been like, of all the presidential elections we've had.
Right.
There has never been a discussion of voter fraud.
This is the only time.
What does that tell you?
Well, and the other thing is.
Hold on.
You ladies, man.
Hillary Clinton, Russia collusion.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, when he said, I need 11,000 votes, he needed 11,000 votes.
He didn't say, go make them up.
He just made sure you go find them in there.
Hey, look, I need 11,000 votes.
Y'all keep looking.
Y'all keep counting.
Maybe they missed 11,000.
Hey, man, can y'all make up like 11,000 votes?
Did he say that?
No.
And another thing, if you didn't let.
30 million illegals in this country, will we really need the SAVAC as much as we need it right now?
No.
Yeah.
That was y'all's policy.
That's what y'all want, open borders.
So this is why we're in this position now.
A bunch of people in our country that are not citizens yet, they have a driver's license.
If you just go by the old standards of what we're using today, they can vote.
Yeah.
All you have to do is register.
Mm hmm.
Oh, you think they're going to really double check them in these blue states?
Of course not.
No.
Just like use your brains.
Someone who's undocumented, who were to accidentally go to a poll, well, they can have all their rights to come back taken away.
They are in.
An illegal immigrant is going to accidentally go to a poll.
They said, why would they, and she's trying to say, why would they do that?
Then they'll get all their rights taken away.
They won't ever be able to come back.
If you come into this country illegally, that's the same thing.
You will not be able to come back.
So your argument is kind of stupid.
Yeah, y'all actually making excuses for not securing our elections.
That's the most important right we have as Americans the right to vote.
And y'all not trying to secure that?
That makes absolutely no sense.
These women know there's a lot of fraud.
Yeah, everybody.
Especially in these blue areas.
Yeah.
It's just a talking point for the left.
Yeah.
Whatever Trump wants, they disagree with automatically.
And this is the whole purpose of this show.
Yeah.
Well, they can have all their rights to come back taken away.
They are in prison.
The risk of that one vote doesn't merit what they've been doing.
You have to present your ID when you go to vote.
I always have to give them my driver's license so they can make sure that it's me.
Not here in the bottom.
No, I took my ID.
You don't have to show that.
Just give me your naming and your address.
Yeah.
So, and your ID doesn't necessarily prove that you're a citizen because in a lot of sanctuary cities, they're giving driver's license to undocumented and people that are here legally, but they're not citizens yet.
I wonder how big the fraud problem is.
Like when you look at all this welfare fraud, all this stealing taxpayers' money up in Minnesota and California, I bet you the voting fraud is 10 times worse.
It's got to be.
It just makes common sense.
I mean, it's not too far of a stretch.
If we got billions in fraud just in Minnesota, that has to be.
You know, mass fraud across the United States, especially in blue states where they push sanctuary policies.
