6 hours agoThe votes are in: AI will hurt elections and relationships
AI adoption has surged to 53% in three years, but harmful incidents have also increased significantly.
State Senator Creigh Deeds declared, 'I believe that people should choose their representatives. Representatives shouldn't choose their people.' This statement underscores the traditional argument against gerrymandering, yet it serves as a prelude to the Democrats' call for aggressive redistricting.
The new system will shift the responsibility for registration from individuals to the Selective Service System, which will integrate federal data sources to simplify compliance and reduce bureaucracy.
The Trump administration has since poured billions of dollars into immigration enforcement, and in March, Trump issued an executive order requiring the Department of Homeland Security to ensure that states have "access to appropriate systems for verifying the citizenship or immigration status of individuals registering to vote or who are already registered." In May, DHS began encouraging states to check their voter rolls against immigration data with the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program, run by US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). SAVE now has access to data from across the federal government, not just on immigrants but on citizens as well.
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act now dubbed the SAVE America Act narrowly passed the U.S. House last week, with all Republicans and one Democrat backing the bill. Its approval came about 10 months after House Republicans last passed the SAVE Act. The measure, which would transform voter registration and voting across the country, faces persistent hurdles in the GOP-led Senate due to Democratic disapproval and the 60-vote threshold to clear the legislative filibuster.
The death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother and U.S. citizen who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday, has the potential to shake the political landscape in ways reminiscent of George Floyd's killing in 2020. The Trump administration initially claimed Good weaponized her vehicle in an act of domestic terrorism, an account that appears to be contradicted by video evidence.
