John,
We've told you that voter I.D. laws are unfairly biased against people of color, young people, and unmarried women. However, across the country, states are introducing bills to make these laws even MORE restrictive at an alarming rate.
The nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice has the details: “Lawmakers in at least 27 states have introduced…bills in 2025 that would require some or all voters to show citizenship documents to vote.” Not just when you register, but every single time you show up to cast a ballot.
While citizenship is required to vote, rigorous research shows time and again that instances of votes cast by non-citizens are extremely rare. At least 21 million citizens, however, do not have immediate access to the I.D. documents these laws would demand, including 3.1 million voters who lack documents entirely.
The suppressive SAVE Act is stalled in Congress. So opponents of voting rights have turned to the states. These bills aren’t motivated by a desire for free and fair elections – they’re just another voter suppression tactic.
We need your help to defend the right to vote in these 27 states and beyond. Will you chip in with $25 or whatever you can today to help us fight back against voter suppression and intimidation? >>
