Rep.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has warned that Republicans are attempting to sneak voting restrictions into a bill targeting insider trading by members of Congress.

In a post on X, she accused the GOP of using a 'trick' to pass the SAVE America Act, which includes measures to restrict mail-in voting, under the guise of addressing financial misconduct.

Ocasio-Cortez argued that the Republicans are prioritizing voter suppression over genuine reform, claiming that the inclusion of voting restrictions would undermine the bill's legitimacy.

She criticized the GOP for not addressing the insider trading issue independently, suggesting their strategy is to 'sabotage national mail-in voting' while appearing to tackle corruption.

The SAVE America Act, which has been previously proposed, has faced criticism for potentially reducing transparency in stock trading by Congress while allowing certain trades to continue.

Ocasio-Cortez urged constituents to reject the GOP's approach, emphasizing that the party's true intent is to weaken voting rights rather than enforce accountability.

This development highlights the ongoing political tensions surrounding voting rights legislation and the tactics used to advance such measures in Congress.
