VIDEO: Secretary Benson tells Michiganders what's at stake if federal SAVE Act, other bills to block voting become law

“The SAVE Act masquerades as a reasonable election security bill, but the president, the bill’s sponsors and opponents of democracy everywhere know its true purpose – to end American elections as we know them.” *Secretary Benson says* in the new video. “How would they do that? By going after your right to vote.” 

 

Congress is expected to fast-track the SAVE Act for passage in the U.S. House of Representatives in the coming weeks. 

 

“Voting is your power,” *Benson says*. “Let’s all fight to make sure we keep it -- not just in the next election but for every election.”  

 

On Feb. 27, Michigan legislators and voting advocacy organizations joined Secretary Benson at a news conference speaking out against the SAVE Act and other proposals to block the voting rights of eligible U.S. citizens.
