I write to you today regarding the SAVE Act. The United States already has measures and laws in place that guarantee voter integrity, not the least of which is RealID, which many have jumped through hoops to obtain. The SAVE Act will require folks to either possess a passport, which costs $130, and in fact, is a poll tax if you require it, and is unconstitutional, or their ID will have to match their birth certificates. Approximately 79% of married women change their name when they take their vows. Their birth certificates will not match their driver license or state ID. They will be disenfranchised if they cannot provide a certified copy of both their birth certificates and their marriage certificates. Complicating this are folks who have undergone more than one name change, as in the case of divorce and remarriage. These folks will need certified copies of their birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, and new marriage certificates... You see how complicated this becomes quickly? Maybe that's the whole point—to prevent 53 million women from voting, perhaps? In addition, the SAVE act will require anyone wanting to vote by mail/absentee ballot to register IN PERSON, which kind of defies the whole point of mail-in voting. You stand to disenfranchise nearly 5 million disabled voters by instituting this requirement. And you also stand to disenfranchise voters over the age of sixty-five, nearly 16 million of whom voted by mail in the last election. IF you're counting, the total who stand to be disenfranchised totals over 74 million people, which represents nearly 48 percent of the number of people who voted in the 2024 election. The SAVE Act is not about election integrity and stopping non-citizens from voting. Non-citizen voting totals under 100 nationwide. You're looking to solve a problem that by and large does not exist.
