MS NOW Falsely Says ‘Original’ Birth Certificate Needed to Vote Under SAVE Act
25th March 2026
Tuesday’s Morning Joe led with lies about the SAVE America Act, as host Joe Scarborough insisted the legislation required everyone, including his co-host, and wife, Mika Brzezinski to present their original birth certificate from their hospital of birth in order to register to vote.
That’s false. In the legislation, voters would need a passport or birth certificate to register. One can find ways to buy birth certificates from their local government offices. For example, a simple internet search for birth certificates in a person’s county will bring up links, like this from Fairfax, VA, and give options to obtaining a copy of a birth certificate.
The topic came up in an opening discussion on the SAVE ACT. Scarborough referenced Brzezinski not knowing where she was born since her mother, apparently, did not remember.
