MAGA Republicans in Congress are once again trying to force through a flagrantly
anti-democratic voter suppression bill.
This misleadingly-named legislation is called the Safeguard American Voter
Eligibility (SAVE) Act.
But it is not about protecting elections at all. It is about making it harder
for people Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans don’t like to participate in our
democracy.
* They claim it would stop non-citizens from voting in federal elections. But
it is already illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. And there are policies in
place that reliably work to prevent non-citizens from voting.
* What the bill would actually do is impose unnecessary and discriminatory
burdens on millions and millions of eligible voters — including people of
color, young voters, newly naturalized citizens, trans voters, veterans,
immigrants, rural voters, senior citizens, and (for good measure?) women who
have changed their last name.
* All in a pathetic attempt to legitimize MAGA conspiracy theories and Donald
Trump’s Big Lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him.
The House of Representatives is voting on this anti-democratic bill TOMORROW.
Take action right now and urge Congress to reject the SAVE Act.

The so-called SAVE Act doesn’t save anything but Donald Trump’s ego. But it
would make it harder for millions and millions of eligible voters to exercise
their fundamental right to participate in our democracy. Do not pass the anti-democratic, authoritarian SAVE Act.
