(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Labor Unions and Civil Rights Groups are girding for another battle over a massive Republican Voter Suppression Bill, the so-called SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) Act.

Right-Wing House Republicans demanded the GOP attach the SAVE Act to the annual Military Authorization Bill, but their leaders said “no.”

The Right-Wingers then revolted, joining the Democrats to scuttle the Military Bill on a procedural vote just before the July 4th congressional recess.

So, House Speaker Mike Johnson (Republican-Louisiana) - to appease his radicals who are led by U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna (Republican-Florida) plans to insert it into yet another so-called “Reconciliation” Bill when Lawmakers return on July 11th.

Reconciliation Bills are immune from Senate filibusters - but they’re supposed to only deal with tax and spending limits, such as President Donald Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” did last July 4th.

The SAVE Act is now Trump’s top priority and Johnson is scrounging for ways to enact it.

Johnson says key parts of the SAVE Act would virtually kill mail-in balloting and force voters to provide proof of citizenship every time they register to vote and/or go to the polls.

He also contends it would eliminate “fraud in Blue States.”

Johnson did not provide any proof of such fraud.

Neither did the measure’s top sponsor, Trump, who’s made it his #1 cause and who still lies about the 2020 Presidential Election being “stolen” from him.

But the SAVE Act “will guarantee the Mid-Terms” for the GOP, he declares, and ensure that Republicans won’t lose for “a hundred years.”

Former Trump Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem disclosed the real objective of the SAVE Act, though, four months ago.

It’s “to make sure we have the right people voting, that we have the right people to lead this country.”

In plain English: Right-Wing MAGA Republicans and a few others.

Estimates of how many people would lose the right to vote via the GOP’s Voter Suppression Bill start at 21 million, the number of Women whose last names on their original Voter Registrations do not match their current names.

Other numbers are higher.

The GOP plan has drawn the ire of the National AFL-CIO.: “We must defend rule by the people and the right to vote. We strongly oppose restrictive Voter ID Laws that disenfranchise segments of the population by disproportionately impacting Workers, Women, People with Disabilities and Communities of Color.
