Disability and civil rights organizations are calling on Congress to stand against the SAVE Act, HR 22, and any bills that make voting harder for people with disabilities. The SAVE Act has already passed the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate is going to start debate and voting on this TOMORROW, March 17th! If passed, these bills would: • Limit vote-by-mail • Limit who can give help to voters with disabilities • Require hard-to-get documents, such as passports or birth certificates, to register to vote. Millions of voters will face new barriers when trying to vote, including: • Disabled people • Older adults • People with limited transportation • People with limited access to documents There is no evidence that Election fraud by noncitizens is a widespread problem. However, there is clear evidence that these policies would block people (who ARE legally eligible) from voting. These polices would conflict with protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Voting Rights Act that have been around for many years. With major elections approaching, these policies threaten accessible voting and our democracy. Stand against the SAVE Act, HR 22, and any bills that make voting harder for people with disabilities.
