The proposed SAVE Act would create an unnecessary barrier to voter registration by mandating documentation of citizenship, despite existing legal requirements for voters to affirm their eligibility. This redundant measure disproportionately impacts communities of color who face greater difficulty accessing documents like birth certificates or passports. Rather than erecting additional obstacles, we should bolster access to the democratic process. I urge you to reject the SAVE Act and uphold the fundamental right to vote without undue burdens. Protecting the integrity of elections is crucial, but this bill undermines that aim by discouraging eligible Americans from participating. Our nation is strongest when all voices can be heard at the ballot box.
