Congress's Voting Bills Aren't About Protecting Your Vote

from Make It Make Sense with Grant Hermes · host Grant Hermes

As the Senate takes up the House's voter ID bill, Grant explains what's in it. Known as the SAVE America Act, along with its partner bill the MEGA Act, Republicans are hoping to make it harder to vote by imposing strict rules on who can register to vote (which already exist), showing proof of citizenship at the polls, and ending the popular mail-in voting rules. Grant breaks down what's behind these bills and why we know they aren't actually needed... unless you're trying to stop certain people from voting. PROMO CODES: MANTRA MATCHAIf coffee makes you alert and deeply unwell, it might be time to switch it up.Mantra Matcha offers ceremonial-grade matcha sourced from a private hillside farm in Uji, Japan.
