At least two states,. Oregon and Washington, conduct their elections entirely by mail. That is, in those two states there are not polling sites like you have in other states where people can vote in person. That has been true for more than a decade, and so I wonder if the SAVE Act passes and vote by mail is largely outlawed, how will Washington and Oregon handle elections?
I don't think the SAVE Act goes into effect in some future election, giving states time to build the apparatus to comply. The reason that Trump is pushing for its passage so hard is to save Republicans in the midterms in November. But do the all-mail voting states even have voting machines? If the Act passes this month, would there even be a practical way for them to comply?
Yeah I know that OR and WA are both blue states, but there are Dan Newhouse (R-WA), Michael Baumgartner (R-WA), and Cliff Benz (R-OR). The Republicans currently have a 5 vote majority in the House (218 Republicans to 213 Democrats) In an otherwise party-line vote and three votes switch, the law will fail.
