‘Worse Than A Democrat’: Lisa Murkowski Can’t Bring Herself To SAVE America

The Alaska Republican has turned her back on the critical election integrity bill. Again. But she’s had help chloroforming the SAVE America Act.

At a rally earlier this month in Anchorage, President Donald Trump said what a lot of conservatives believe: Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, “is worse than a Democrat.” 

Trump was right. And Murkowski just proved him right again. 

The Senate’s leading RINO over the weekend announced that she remains opposed to the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act. She did so in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal so that a wider audience could read her purported reasons and to magnify just how much she despises Donald Trump. 

In the self-serving piece, Murkowski claims she supports the bill’s “core tenets” but still opposes the bill. 

“Why? Because it would have serious negative effects in Alaska, and the current text doesn’t allow for the time and resources needed for proper implementation,” wrote the four-term senator with designs on a fifth in 2028.  

If you want to know why the Senate hates the SAVE America Act, it’s because senators are lazy and have zero interest in doing actual work.They believe the Senate, and their own voters, exist to serve them.

Helpless, Hypothetical Voters 

The SAVE America Act’s core provisions would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and a photo ID to vote in U.S. elections. That’s much too onerous for Alaska voters, Murkowski opined. Some Alaskans in the more remote parts of the state would have to pay hundreds of dollars to travel by plane to the nearest election site. There are just six, she said, in a state double the size of Texas.  

Think of the poor 18-year-old living in Savoonga, on a remote island in the Bering Sea, Murkowski muses. Or the Unalaska fisherman, out on the Aleutian Islands. The flight to Anchorage, the closest election office, located about 800 miles away, would cost that fisherman about $1,500 round-trip, the senator estimates. 

Then there’s the helpless, hypothetical 85-year-old elder born on tribal land 18 years before statehood. How does she go about obtaining the proper identification to prove she’s eligible to vote? 

Murkowski definitely........
