Hi,

Republicans are pushing a new voter suppression bill that could
effectively disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans.

The cynically titled SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) Act would
require a birth certificate or a passport to register to vote — no other
IDs would be acceptable. That means drivers licenses, military IDs, and
student IDs would no longer be accepted.^1

With roughly 150 million Americans without a passport and many more
without proper access to their birth certificate, this could be one of the
most destructive voter suppression bills in modern history. Our lawmakers
must oppose the SAVE Act at all costs.

Approximately 69 million American women do not have a birth certificate
with their current legal name on it, creating significant barriers for
them to vote under the SAVE Act. 150 million Americans do not have a
passport, and elderly Americans are the least likely to hold one. In 7
states, less than one-third of citizens have a valid passport – Alabama,
Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and West Virginia.

The SAVE Act would erode the fundamental right to vote, silencing the
voices of vulnerable communities under the dishonest guise of election
security.

Congress needs to reject this harmful legislation, and instead protect and
expand voting rights by supporting measures such as the John Lewis Voting
Rights Act.
