Democrats’ SAVE Act opposition: Letters to the Editor — Feb. 14, 2026

The Issue: Democrats speaking out against the SAVE America Act, which would require ID to vote.

I don’t know who Sen. Chuck Schumer and his minions think they’re fooling, chanting “Jim Crow 2.0” any time the SAVE America Act comes up (“Voter-ID Lies,” Libby Emmons, Post­Opinion, Feb. 10).

The SAVE Act is supported by north of 80% of the American people of all races and creeds, but Schumer and company act like requiring an ID at polling places is “racist.”

Any confusion about what’s really going on was dispelled when Virginia Democrats began pushing a law that would ban ICE from polling places. ICE agents arrest illegal aliens, so why would you need to ban them from polling places?

Clearly, illegal immigrants are voting in blue states. That’s what this is all about.

Following the law is the only sensible way to address the illegal immigration mess

Will NYC builders use their clout to stop Mamdani —and save the city?

We already have voter ID; a voter must give their name at the polls. If it’s not on the list, they can’t vote.

It’s been proven that voter fraud is super rare. So, any laws beyond that are just harassment of a constitutional right.

Bury the so-called SAVE act.

As a 15-year New York City poll worker, I believe the SAVE America Act must be passed to ensure honest elections.

As it stands now, all a voter has to do when they come to my table is give me their name. Many will show an ID, but I’m not allowed to ask for it.

The only way to ensure honest elections is to guarantee a voter is indeed a US citizen, the same as the requirement to receive a passport.

I am amazed at the ridiculousness of former President Obama’s speech, and many others echoing the same thoughts, after he stated that voter-ID will serve to disenfranchise Americans. All of these statements are nonsense.

A large majority of Americans support voter-ID — and the remainder you just have to wonder about. If anything, mandatory ID would unite Americans rather than disenfranchise them.

If a person can’t get a photo-ID in this day and age, I don’t want them voting. It’s incredibly easy to do.

I simply can’t understand Democrats defending immigrants over American citizens, giving them all the privileges of citizens, including Social Security benefits, taxpayer-funded day care and the ability to vote. This is ridiculous; only American citizens should have the right to vote and this must be verified by ID.

Is Trump Derangement Syndrome driving these lying hypocrites? Or is their thirst for power driving them to keep the borders open to garner more votes?

The Issue: Mayor Mamdani being the first mayor in nearly 100 years to skip an archbishop’s installation.

Archbishop Ronald Hicks’ installation was a glorious day for not only the Catholic Church, but every New Yorker. Christians, Jews and many other faiths were represented (“He’s no Ro-Mam Catholic,” Feb. 10).

One glaring absence was Mayor Mamdani. Where was he? God only knows. As a former Brooklynite, I pray all New Yorkers take note of him shunning religious gatherings.

Missing the installation of a new archbishop in a city like New York isn’t just a scheduling conflict — it’s a perceived slight that carries the weight of a public snub. The mayor’s absence hums with a specific kind of political friction.

In a room filled with the city’s faithful, Mamdani’s empty seat spoke louder than any prepared statement he made on X.
