The SAVE Act poses significant barriers to voting rights that undermine the democratic process. Requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register poses undue burdens, especially for marginalized communities, the elderly, and those who face challenges obtaining recognized documents. Additionally, the potential impacts on members of the military and their families who may need to frequently update registration across state lines are concerning. Rather than erecting obstacles, efforts should be made to expand access to voting and bolster faith in our elections through robust security measures that respect constitutional rights. I urge you to reject this harmful legislation that would disenfranchise eligible voters under the guise of election integrity. We must safeguard and strengthen our democracy, not limit participation through restrictive and unnecessary voting requirements.
