The proposed SAVE Act imposes unnecessary and burdensome restrictions on the right of eligible citizens to vote in federal elections. Requiring documentary proof of citizenship creates barriers for many Americans, including those born at home, older adults who may lack certain documents, and individuals impacted by natural disasters. This legislation raises grave concerns about disenfranchising lawful voters. Rather than strengthen election integrity, the SAVE Act risks undermining confidence in our electoral process by excluding eligible voters. We should expand access to the ballot box and make voting more convenient, not create new obstacles. I urge you to reject this bill that threatens to disproportionately impact minority, low-income, elderly, and disabled citizens' ability to exercise their fundamental right to vote. Let us pursue reforms that increase participation while maintaining secure and reliable elections.
