White text on a dark blue background that reads:
"The SAVE Act would:
X Impose unnecessary barriers 
to voter registration
X Eliminate mail registration 
and upend online registration
X Remove eligible Americans from the voter rolls
X Threaten election workers 
with imprisonment and more."

White text on a dark blue background that reads: "The SAVE Act would: X Impose unnecessary barriers to voter registration X Eliminate mail registration and upend online registration X Remove eligible Americans from the voter rolls X Threaten election workers with imprisonment and more."

Lawmakers are trying to revive the dangerous and unpopular SAVE Act under a new name, but it would still prevent eligible Americans from voting, strain election systems and upend long-standing democratic practices. It must be defeated.

What the hell?

Is this really the Minnesota State Police testing LRAD on protestors?

LRAD is a long-range acoustic device. Sound as a weapon.

Testing weapons on civilians is a war crime.

If this is legit, it means weapons of war against US citizens.
