The SAVE Act proposed in Congress raises significant concerns about disenfranchising eligible voters by requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote. Millions of Americans may face difficulties obtaining the required documents like passports or birth certificates, creating unnecessary barriers to exercising their constitutional right to vote. Rather than pursuing restrictive policies that risk excluding lawful citizens, we should focus on improving existing systems to maintain secure and accessible elections for all eligible voters. Requiring strict documentary proof is an overreach that fails to address any widespread issues with non-citizen voting, which is already illegal and extremely rare. I urge you to oppose the SAVE Act (S.128) and any legislation that threatens to disenfranchise lawful U.S. citizens. We must protect the integrity of our elections by expanding access to the ballot, not erecting discriminatory obstacles. Please stand firmly against measures that undermine the foundational democratic principle of the consent of the governed.
