密歇根州民主党参议员伊丽莎·斯洛特金表示，《保护美国选民资格法案》（SAVE America Act）将让民主党人更难赢得选举，这引发共和党人抨击称，她终于把民主党反对更严格选举法的“潜台词公之于众”。
斯洛特金的此番言论出自 Breitbart 新闻近日挖出的一段视频，录制于6月参议院以微弱优势否决该法案的次日。该法案最终以50票赞成、48票反对未能通过，四名共和党议员倒戈与民主党人一同投下反对票。
《保护美国选民资格法案》已成为国会最激烈的立法斗争之一，唐纳德·特朗普总统已将其通过列为首要任务。特朗普上周五拒绝签署一项住房法案，以抗议国会未能通过该法案。

在6月6日向印第安纳州民主党发表的演讲中，斯洛特金对参议院否决《保护美国选民资格法案》表示庆祝，称该法案将允许特朗普政府“操纵我们的民主”。
“任何州的任何民主党人都将很难赢得任何选举，”斯洛特金在谈及《保护美国选民资格法案》时说道。
斯洛特金并未解释该法案将如何损害民主党政客的利益。

《保护美国选民资格法案》将要求提供美国公民身份的书面证明才能进行选民登记，并要求在联邦选举中投票时出示带照片的身份证件，同时强制各州采取额外措施将非公民从选民名册中移除。
特朗普数月来一直辩称，民主党人反对该法案是因为这会让他们更难在选举中“作弊”，他声称民主党在弱化选民身份验证措施以及让不符合资格的选民投票方面获得了政治利益。
在2月24日的国情咨文演讲中，特朗普敦促国会通过《保护美国选民资格法案》，辩称民主党人反对选民身份证制度是因为“他们能当选的唯一方式就是作弊”。

“他们之所以不想这么做——为什么有人会反对选民身份证？原因只有一个：他们想作弊。仅此一个理由。他们编出各种借口，”特朗普说道。
“他们会说‘这是种族主义’。他们想出各种说辞——你几乎会想说‘他们的想象力真丰富’。他们想作弊，他们一直在作弊，他们的政策糟糕透顶，以至于能让他们当选的唯一方式就是作弊，而我们要阻止这一切。”
但自称无党派的非营利选举政策组织“选举创新与研究中心”发现，非公民进行选民登记的情况非常罕见。
“当调查确实发现极少数不当登记或投票的情况时，官员们会迅速采取行动，确保美国选举保持安全，”该中心表示。

斯洛特金还声称，《保护美国选民资格法案》会让已婚女性更难投票，称女性在投票时必须出示出生证明。
该法案的批评者认为，这一要求可能会给一些婚后更改了姓氏的已婚女性带来额外障碍，因为她们出生证明上的姓名可能与当前身份证件上的姓名不符。在这些情况下，选民可能需要提供额外文件，比如结婚证书。
共和党国会议员猛烈抨击斯洛特金。
“民主党人终于把潜台词公之于众了，”众议员托尼·维德周二在X平台上写道。“他们知道自己无法靠自身政绩获胜。”
“左翼的这一说法不仅虚假，还将女性描绘成无能之辈，我们都知道事实并非如此，”肯塔基州共和党参议员兰德·保罗周二也在X平台上写道。“带着能证明你是美国公民的身份证件前往投票点投票——无论你是否已婚——都是常识。我们需要通过《保护美国选民资格法案》。”
“按照同样的逻辑，美国没有已婚女性能够填写I-9表格——这是每个美国人开始新工作时都必须填写的表格，”犹他州共和党参议员迈克·李周二在X平台上写道。“这太荒谬了。这也凸显了我们为什么需要通过《保护美国选民资格法案》。”

斯洛特金的办公室将福克斯新闻数字频道的采访引向了斯洛特金6月发布的一段视频，这位密歇根州民主党议员在视频中表示，特朗普曾告诉国会，如果共和党在2026年中期选举中失利，选举就是“被操纵的”。
“在国情咨文演讲中，当我们都坐在众议院议席上时，他再次表示，如果他的阵营在2026年11月的选举中失利，那就是选举被操纵了，”斯洛特金在视频中说道，此处她指的是特朗普。
福克斯新闻数字频道对特朗普国情咨文演讲的审查发现，特朗普并未发表过这一言论。相反，特朗普辩称民主党人“想作弊”，且“他们能当选的唯一方式就是作弊”。他还表示，如果共和党在中期选举中失利，可能会面临弹劾。
“他们想作弊，他们一直在作弊，他们的政策糟糕透顶，以至于能让他们当选的唯一方式就是作弊，”他说道。“而我们要阻止这一切。”
在这段视频中，斯洛特金还指责特朗普试图将选举联邦化，并提及2020大选后起草的一份未签署的行政令草案，该草案提议动用国民警卫队扣押投票机。该命令从未签署，也未执行。

白宫驳斥了斯洛特金关于《保护美国选民资格法案》会损害民主党利益的说法。
“如果通过选民身份证和公民身份证明等常识性方法保障美国选举安全，就会让民主党人无法赢得选举，那或许他们应该重新考虑自己用来‘获胜’的手段，”白宫发言人阿比盖尔·杰克逊在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中说道。

Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., said the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE) America Act would make it harder for Democrats to win elections, prompting Republicans to argue she had finally said “the quiet part out loud” about Democrats’ opposition to stricter election laws.
Slotkin made the remarks in a video recently unearthed by Breitbart News that was recorded the day after the Senate narrowly rejected the SAVE America Act in June. The bill failed 50-48 after four Republicans joined Democrats in voting against it.
The SAVE America Act has become one of the biggest legislative fights in Congress, and President Donald Trump has made its passage his top priority. Trump refused to sign a housing bill Friday to protest Congress’ failure to pass the SAVE America Act.

During a June 6 address to Indiana’s state Democratic Party, Slotkin celebrated the Senate’s rejection of the SAVE America Act, in which she claimed the bill would allow the Trump administration to “rig our democracy.”
“It would be hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election,” Slotkin said of the SAVE America Act.
Slotkin did not explain how the legislation would hurt Democratic politicians.

The SAVE America Act would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and photo identification to cast a ballot in federal elections and mandates that states take additional steps to remove noncitizens from voter rolls.
Trump argued for months that Democrats opposed the SAVE America Act because it would make it harder to “cheat” in elections, claiming the party benefits politically from weak voter verification measures and the votes of people who are not eligible to vote.
During his Feb. 24 State of the Union address, Trump urged Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, arguing Democrats oppose voter ID because “the only way they can get elected is to cheat.”

“And the reason they don’t want to do it — why would anybody not want voter ID? One reason: Because they want to cheat. There’s only one reason. They make up all excuses,” Trump said.
“They say, ‘It’s racist.’ They come up with things — you almost say, ‘What imagination they have.’ They want to cheat, they have cheated and their policy is so bad that the only way they can get elected is to cheat, and we’re going to stop it.”
But the Center for Election Innovation & Research, a nonprofit election policy group that describes itself as nonpartisan, has found that voter registration of noncitizens is rare.
“When investigations do turn up rare instances of improper registration or voting, officials take swift action to ensure that American elections remain secure,” according to the Center for Election Innovation & Research.

Slotkin also alleged that the SAVE America Act would make it more difficult for married women to vote, saying a woman would have to show her birth certificate at the polls.
Critics of the bill argue the requirement could create additional hurdles for some married women who changed their last names after marriage because the name on their birth certificate may not match their current identification. In those cases, voters may need to provide additional documentation, such as a marriage certificate.
Republican congressional members slammed Slotkin.
“Democrats are saying the quiet part out loud,” Rep. Tony Wied wrote on X Tuesday. “They know they can’t win on their own merit.”
“This talking point from the Left is not only false, but it also paints women as incapable, which we all know is not the case,” Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., also wrote on X Tuesday. “Showing up to the polls to vote with an ID that proves you’re an American citizen –whether you’re married or not –is common sense. We need to pass the SAVE America Act.”
“By that same logic, no married woman in America could fill out an I-9 form — which every American must do when starting a new job,” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, wrote on X on Tuesday. “This is absurd. And it highlights why we need to pass the SAVE America Act.”

Slotkin’s office referred Fox News Digital to a June video of Slotkin in which the Michigan Democrat said Trump told Congress that if Republicans lose the 2026 midterms, the election was “rigged.”
“In the State of the Union, while we were all sitting on the House floor, he said again that if his side doesn’t win in November 2026, the election was rigged,” Slotkin said in the video, referring to Trump.
A Fox News Digital review of Trump’s State of the Union address found Trump did not make that statement. Instead, Trump argued Democrats “want to cheat” and that “the only way they can get elected is to cheat.” He also said Republicans could face impeachment if they lose the midterms.
“They want to cheat, they have cheated and their policy is so bad that the only way they can get elected is to cheat,” he said. “And we’re going to stop it.”
In the video, Slotkin also accused Trump of trying to federalize elections, pointing to an unsigned draft executive order drafted after the 2020 election that proposed using the National Guard to seize voting machines. The order was never signed or carried out.

The White House dismissed Slotkin’s claims about SAVE America hurting Democrats.
“If securing America’s elections — through commonsense methods like voter ID and proof of citizenship — will make it impossible for Democrats to win elections, perhaps they should reconsider the methods they’re using to ‘win,’” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
