After the House passed the SAVE America Act (the latest version of the anti-voting SAVE Act), the Senate is all we have left to stop this suppressive legislation from becoming law ahead of the midterm elections, John.
Defenders of voting rights know that non-citizen voting is already illegal, extremely rare, and that this bill is written in a way that could disenfranchise millions of eligible women across the country. Here's Colorado Senator Michael Bennet on the impact of these bills: |

We know the SAVE America Act was fast-tracked by opponents of voting rights to be in place before November, John. This bill is a stunning assault on our fundamental right to vote, and we can not afford to let this anti-democratic legislation become law.
This bill would force every voter to present proof of citizenship to register, either a passport or a birth certificate that matches their current first and last name -- something millions of eligible American women don’t have. And that’s the point. The bill would also obliterate popular methods of voter registration for all voters, including: |
- Registration by mail
- 3rd party voter registration drives
- Online voter registration in states that allow it
- Automatic voter registration

Integrity First Voter Action Project is dedicated to expanding ballot access and increasing voter participation across the country.
Since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act, extreme politicians have taken advantage to pass harsh laws that restrict access to the ballot box. These restrictions particularly affect disadvantaged communities and people of color. It’s our goal to bring awareness to these laws wherever they may crop up and organize voters to take action to ensure the right to vote is available to everyone in their states and communities.
