SAVE Act claims to prevent voter fraud - total rate is 0.00011%

To: Sen. Marshall

From: A constituent in Bel Aire, KS

March 20

I have several observations about how you are supporting the SAVE Act. First, you're being disingenuous at best and flat out lying at worst about what the Act is. Fact: the Act doesn't improve voter fraud because there is virtually no fraud to improve upon. Per the right-wing, conservative Heritage Foundation, 1,620 voter fraud cases were processed across all states from 1982 to 2025. If you count only presidential elections from 1984 to 2024, more than 1.3 billion votes were cast. That's a voter fraud rate of 0.00011%. Your claim that the Act is all about voter security is fraudulent in itself. You're lying to your constituents. You blow off concerns about how the rest of the Act will make it more difficult to register and vote. Every element of the Act will make it harder to exercise the right to vote, especially for some people. The Act is simple government overreach. It's meddling with citizens' First Amendment rights to vote. Since it won't/can't improve a statistically non-existent voter fraud rate, the only reason for such a harmful bill is a power grab. The goal: Reduce the number of voters who can vote and hope those are mostly voters on the other party. Bottom line, by misrepresenting the Act, you're lying, you're being disingenuous, and you're counting on it to increase Republicans' chances to outperform the Democrats on the mid-terms. In other words, you're cheating.
