Valid U.S. passports are among the few accepted forms of ID under the Save (Trump from losing the midterms) Act. Studies show most passports are held by Democrats and independents not likely to be MAGA.
If I were to present my passport to register to vote under the Act, what’s to stop Palantir’s systems from cross checking my name to other data (Act Blue donations as one source) and revoking my passport and enough others in key swing districts to sabotage the elections?

When the IEA releases all that gas from the reserve what price do they release it at?
Shanley, will you send me the peace that compared Trump to Hitler? I want to share it with my daughter.
