The SAVE Act is a voter suppression bill, pure and simple. It would require voters to produce one from an extremely narrow list of documents to prove US citizenship in order to claim our most fundamental freedom to vote.
VoteRiders’ research — as well as over a decade of our hands-on experience helping people secure their IDs and underlying documents — shows that 21.3 million Americans (that’s almost 1 in 10 voting-age citizens) do not have easy access to proof of citizenship documents like a birth certificate. On top of that, nearly 150 million US citizens do not have a passport.
Federal law already requires that voters verify their identity and US citizenship at the time that they register. So, the SAVE Act is both harmful and unnecessary.
Please, reach out to your member of Congress today and urge them to OPPOSE the SAVE Act.
In solidarity,
