Vote No on the SAVE Act! The House will vote on the SAVE Act this week. If the bill passes, more than 21 million Americans could be blocked from voting. The bill would require Americans to show documents like a passport or a birth certificate to register or re-register to vote. More than 21 million Americans don’t have these documents readily available. Younger people, married women, and voters of color are especially likely to be impacted. The bill’s requirement that voters produce these documents “in person” would also upend most voter registration methods - including registering online and by mail. The SAVE Act would be the first voter suppression bill ever passed by Congress. Lawmakers should be protecting the freedom to vote - not restricting it. We (the people) urge Congress to reject the SAVE Act. (Brennan Center for Justice)
