Deliberate review needed for SAVE Act's balanced approach

To: Sen. Wyden, Sen. Merkley, Rep. Salinas

From: A verified voter in Sherwood, OR

April 11

I understand the serious concerns raised about the SAVE Act and the potential barriers it could create for many eligible voters to participate in federal elections. However, I cannot recommend voting against this legislation outright based solely on the information provided. Protecting the integrity of elections is crucial, but it should be balanced against ensuring all citizens have reasonable access to exercise their fundamental right to vote. Perhaps there is room for amendments to address issues like documentation accessibility, cost barriers, and accommodating life events like marriage. A more measured approach considering different perspectives may lead to a better solution that safeguards the electoral process while not disenfranchising large segments of the population. I would urge a thorough review and open debate on potential impacts before deciding how to proceed on this bill.
