Any version of the SAVE Act is a dangerous attempt to make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to register and vote. A faction of extremist lawmakers is pushing two new iterations of that legislation (the Make Elections Great Again Act (MEGA) and the Save America Act). While under new names, these new bills are part of the same effort by Republican members of Congress to disenfranchise millions of eligible voters from participating in upcoming elections. This legislation would require strict proof of citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, documents that millions of Americans don’t have access to. Requiring every citizen to provide a passport or birth certificate in person to register or update their voter information would impact all of us, but would especially impact working-class Americans, older voters, women who’ve changed their last name, and those who’ve lost essential documents due to natural disasters. This isn’t about protecting elections, it’s about silencing voters. Our democracy works best when everyone can participate. Stand up for voting rights today!
