When Democrats attempted to advance sweeping election reform legislation in 2021, Republicans were unanimous in opposition because it would have federalized elections, something we have long opposed. Now, I’m seeing proposals such as the SAVE Act and MEGA that would effectively do just that. Once again, I do not support these efforts. Not only does the U.S. Constitution clearly provide states the authority to regulate the "times, places, and manner" of holding federal elections, but one-size-fits-all mandates from Washington, D.C., seldom work in places like Alaska.
Election Day is fast approaching. Imposing new federal requirements now, when states are deep into their preparations, would negatively impact election integrity by forcing election officials to scramble to adhere to new policies likely without the necessary resources. Ensuring public trust in our elections is at the core of our democracy, but federal overreach is not how we achieve this.

She’s right from a constitutional perspective
Voter ID is smart policy, but it has to be done by states.
It was wrong in 2021 for dems to federalize elections
Wrong now for gop

If it federalizes then I would agree. But she is playing word games.
The constitution has requirements on voting for federal elections. One is that you are a citizen.
Requiring proof of that does not federalize elections. It ensures that the elections are lawful.
She is anglobalist who is in love with massive migration. She dont give a damn about the USA. Just her pockets.

Means blue states will continue to help non-citizens and dead people vote.

Less than worthless and an obvious beneficiary of the very election fraud installation of compliant retards that the SAVE Act will eliminate.

I'm pretty torn on this issue to be honest.
I want secure elections and for things like voter ID to matter. I live in Florida and we have that now.
That doesn't mean I want to federalize the elections. Because if you give the federal government that power, it also means they can start forcing states like my own to no longer require voter ID.
Which is likely what the democrats would have done in 2021.
In general, it's rarely a good idea to give the federal government more power.
When you give up power to the federal government, you are giving it to both sides, not just 1. And then hell, most of the time both sides aren't even really both sides, they are the same side.
I can not hold it against anyone who doesn't vote for the Save Act, and I also won't hold it against anyone who does.
I'd like to see someone come up with a better solution.

Does it really matter? There aren't 60 votes regardless of how she votes.

Radical Left loves ‘em some “Republicans” like Murkowski.
An entire “opposition party” of Republicans like Murkowski would be heaven on earth for the modern Dem party.

FYI, the SAVE Act does not require an ID to vote. It would require an ID to register to vote in federal elections.

Not when one state or a handful of states, make or break policy for the whole.
Every other nation has this figured out...

You are an idiot and a rino. We all know that.
How is requiring a US citizen voting to prove they are a citizen federalizing it? You cant answer that.

Quit falling prey to the stupid arse narrative. It doesn’t “federalize” shite. It mandates the constitution is followed!

Can this hagrid bitch go away. She is insufferable. It’s the stupid ranking vote system in Alaska.
If elections do get federalized then federally we need to do away with that dumb shite also.

At least all of the ones who didn't explicitly write that the time, place and manner of elections are the purview of the States in its governing document.

Reminder who this hag really is when the pressure is on:
This was when she was cornered by Diane Feinstein during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, IIRC.

If they just keep repating that public trust in our elections is high, then surely everyone will just magically stop thinking they dont trust our election system.

The federal gov already has that power and it was given by the founding fathers.
You must be a US citizen to vote. Period.
This does not change anything. It enforces it.

I do believe VoxD addressed this...
I will further address it to point out that Uncle Sam has already trashed tf out of state's purview several times over concerning elections.
