I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the Make Elections Great Again (MEGA) Act and the SAVE America Act. These dangerous bills are guaranteed to undermine our electoral process and restrict the rights of eligible voters across the country, putting up new barriers by: • Requiring Americans to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a passport or original birth certificate, to register to vote • Making many commonly used IDs insufficient on their own including REAL IDs, driver’s licenses, military IDs, and most Tribal IDs • Creating new barriers for people who have changed their name, including many married women • Imposing new national photo ID requirements, including for people who vote by mail • Restricting widely used mail voting practices and making it harder to vote by mail • Banning innovative solutions like Ranked Choice Voting that give voters more voice • Increasing the risk that eligible voters are wrongly removed from voter rolls Additionally, the bills would take election authority away from the states and raise concerns about federal interference with free and fair elections, requiring states to: • Share citizenship data with the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE • Share data with the Department of Justice, at risk of losing election funding • Cooperate with a federal takeover of election administration, including unfunded requirements around ballots, provisional ballots, list maintenance, and even driver’s license design (updating licenses to include citizenship status) If either of these bills become law, millions of Americans could lose their ability to vote and the executive branch would gain tremendous new powers to interfere with elections. Giving the executive branch so much power over elections creates tremendous risks to our country’s ability to hold free and fair elections. Please do EVERYTHING you can to block these dangerous bills. We absolutely cannot let this happen.
