Trump’s Halts All Legislation Unless SAVE Act Is Passed in Threat to Voting Rights for Millions.

Mar 10, 2026 | Donald Trump has demanded that Congress pass the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) and refuses to sign new legislation unless the bill moves “to the front of the line,” raising new questions about voting access, political leverage, and the future of U.S. elections. In this video, we examine the deeper history of democracy in the United States and why the system has always struggled with representation, voting rights, and political power. From the creation of the Electoral College in 1787 to the long fight for civil rights, large groups of Americans were excluded from meaningful political participation for much of the country’s history.

Rich Should Get More Votes, Says Billionaire Tom Perkins

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Outspoken magnate Tom Perkins who likened attacks on the very rich to anti-Semitism, courts further controversy as he calls for the right to vote to be linked to how much tax people pay

Tom Perkins, the Silicon Valley billionaire, has risked further controversy by saying the rich should be given more votes than the less well off.

An unrepentant Mr Perkins also said those who paid no taxes whatsoever should be disfranchised.

The venture capitalist, enlisted both Thomas Jefferson and Baroness Thatcher in his call for a radical change to the voting system.

Speaking at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, he appeared to revel in the notoriety his previous remarks as he spoke to a sell-out audience.

“Thomas Jefferson, at the beginning of this country thought to vote you had to be a landowner,” he said. » | David Millward, US Correspondent | Saturday, February 15, 2014
