The SAVE Act could unfairly prevent millions from voting

The SAVE Act is not about protecting elections; it’s about silencing American citizens by making it harder for them to vote and harder for them to hold politicians accountable. The bill would force Americans to prove to the government, in person, that they are a citizen primarily by showing a passport or birth certificate. But 146 million Americans don’t have a passport and as many as 69 million married women don’t have a birth certificate that matches their current legal name. Forcing Americans to show documentation in person would also be disastrous for millions of rural voters who would have to drive hours just to show documents to update their registration.

Major provisions of this bill—including those that pertain to REAL ID—aren’t even workable, and sponsors of the bill know this. Yet they have refused to make any attempts to improve this disastrous bill. They do not care about citizens’ constitutional rights; they care about passing this bill. The Senate must block this dangerous bill from becoming law.
