Vote no on the SAVE Act. This legislation would block millions of eligible Americans from voting while solving no actual problem. More than 21 million Americans lack ready access to passports or birth certificates. Roughly half of Americans don't have passports. The House version would require proof of both citizenship and residence, potentially blocking the 9% of the population that moved within a state in the past year. Millions of women whose married names don't match their birth certificates would face barriers. The Senate version goes further, requiring documentation both to register and to cast a ballot. The bills would create chaos for election administrators by mandating voter roll purges every 30 days and imposing civil and criminal penalties for honest mistakes. The House version would prohibit universal mail voting, ending the primary voting method in eight states and Washington, DC. Your own administration's investigations in Louisiana and Utah confirmed that illegal voting is vanishingly rare. This is a solution in search of a problem, designed to discourage Americans from exercising their right to vote.
