The proposed SAVE Act, which would require valid identification to vote in elections, is a rare piece of legislation in America. It currently enjoys overwhelming support not just from Republicans and independents but even among registered Democrats.
Maybe common sense isn't dead in America after all.
Please note, however, that the above statement does not apply to Democrat politicians or their media apparatchiks.
In another baffling display of taking the 20 side on yet another 80/20 issue (at least), every Democrat leader is fearmongering about the SAVE Act, outright LYING that it would prevent black people and women from voting.
None of it is true, however, and most people know it's not true. But that won't stop leftist media outlets like Axios from repeating those false allegations, possibly in the hopes that, if they lie often enough, people might start to believe them.
Yesterday, Axios tried to scare women that they can get married or they can vote, but that Big Bad Orange Man won't let them do both.
If the Trump-back SAVE America Act passes, "millions of women whose married names aren't on their birth certificates or passports" would face extra barriers to voting. https://t.co/Ohd4jNkLPp

Notice the quotes in the post. This is how Axios repeats a lie while pretending not to be the ones saying it. It's just the 'experts' and 'analysts' (none of whom ever have names) who are claiming that.
By the numbers: In every iteration of the bill, a Brennan Center analysis found, 'the SAVE Act would require American citizens to show documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote.'
- The Brennan Center estimates that more than 21 million Americans lack ready access to those documents, that roughly half of Americans don't have a passport, and millions lack access to a paper copy of their birth certificate.
- 'Likewise, millions of women whose married names aren't on their birth certificates or passports would face extra steps just to make their voices heard,' the researchers said.
What Axios fails to note here, of course, is that the Brennan Center is a far-left hardcore advocacy group, not a non-partisan research institution, as the article implies. Everything their 'researchers' found is nothing more than bullet points from the DNC.
All the SAVE Act requires is valid identification. The same valid identification that is required to get on a plane or purchase alcohol.
If this logic had merit, millions of married women are currently prevented from flying on an airplane. Big if true. https://t.co/3MHe4yorPF

Sorry, ladies. No flights for you. There's always the train. Or the bus.
Nobody at Axios has ever filled out a federal I-9 form? https://t.co/PXGZlO5a8W

Wow. Millions of women aren't allowed to have jobs either?
That's really going to suck for the economy.
So Axios thinks women are weak, stupid, and without agency.

Got it.
In fairness, they can't even define what a woman is, so this is pretty on brand for them.
“Women are too stupid to vote” is quite an old school take

We didn't have Axios coming out against the 19th Amendment on our 2026 bingo cards.
And it's not just women. According to Democrats like Joe Biden, black people can't vote either because they don't know how to find the local DMV or even how to get on the Internet.
And let's not forget those rural Americans. They don't even have a Kinko's nearby, according to recent remarks from Kamala Harris.
[Editor's Note: There hasn't been a Kinko's in America since 2008.]
My goodness! How on earth was I able to travel outside the U.S. or get an ID after I was married?
— Ashe Short (@AsheSchow) February 11, 2026
Since we women are apparently too stupid to figure this out, according to Democrats. https://t.co/R43VbyAlrq
It's the new Democrat strategy. Win over voters by insulting half the population.
What an absolutely unacceptable barrier for women.
— Katie Miller (@KatieMiller) February 11, 2026
How ever will I get an ID with my name on it? https://t.co/cx1LVIqQJc
Miller must have had access to a top-quality forger, like all of those POWs in The Great Escape.
The "extra barriers" are just...having a copy of your marriage certificate

You know, the thing the government sends you for free after you get married https://t.co/kqQ1JO6czB
What a burden. Millions will be disenfranchised!
Or, you know, no one at all will be.
Truly in the running for the dumbest headline of the month. https://t.co/wK53h9r3X4

Come on. We're not even at Valentine's Day yet. We're sure Axios will do worse than this over the next couple of weeks.
No one believes this. https://t.co/Y2Jz9q3dKK

It's one thing for the Democrats to lie about the SAVE Act. They know they can't win elections without voter fraud and votes cast by the millions of illegals that Biden invited in.
But Axios repeating those lies, without even an ounce of actual journalism or critical analysis of Democrat accusations, is such a perfect example of why the legacy media is dead.
This entire article is just a press release for left-wing dark money groups who have lied about voter suppression for years.@axios be better than this. https://t.co/IbpOy664DL
— Matt Whitlock (@MattWhitlock) February 11, 2026
Be better than this? Axios?
OK, that was pretty funny. We laughed.
This has to be close to rock bottom on Democratic messaging. Can they get any lower? https://t.co/4EWenOjVtu
— Matthew Feinberg (@thewebbie) February 11, 2026
HAAAHAHAHAHAHA.
That was also pretty funny.
As we all know, there is no bar so low that the left cannot slither under it.
What this article shows is that truth goes for both Democrat politicians AND for their media lackeys.
Maybe Jeff Bezos can buy Axios and fire everyone there, too.
