Early voting doesn’t start till Oct 21. The conspiracy theory of illegal migrants voting runs strong here. My congressman voted against the continuing resolution because the Save Act wasn’t included.

The Save Act would make it illegal for a non-citizen to vote. It’s already against the law. Plus our state requires a birth certificate to get a drivers license, which is your ID to vote.

Still, he voted to shut down the government during prime hurricane season because he’s either stupid or needed a political win for his stupid base.
