An Open Letter

To: Rep. Johnson, Sen. Kennedy, Sen. Cassidy

From: A verified voter in Ball, LA

February 12

Stop the Save Act. It is already illegal for a non-citizen to vote. The Heritage Foundation data shows that the cases in Heritage’s database reveal that the organization has documented just 68 total cases of noncitizen voting going back to the earliest cases documented in the 1980s. That’s less than 5% of the cases in their database, total. The remaining cases all involve U.S. citizens. What do those 68 cases tell us? First, it demonstrates that proven cases of noncitizen voting are incredibly rare. Even an organization engaged in a major effort to document voter fraud produced fewer than 70 proven cases of noncitizens who voted in elections in the last 40 years. Given that over one billion votes have been cast over that period in thousands of elections, the incidence of proven noncitizen voting is below 0.0001%. The Save Act is pure voter suppression. Why would the GOP need to suppression the votes of Americans citizen? Not every has a passport, not every one has a birth certificate, not every one a birth certificate that matches their ID (as in married women). Just stop this nonsense. It is beneath you and the office you hold.
