The House recently passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. While the intention may be to ensure election integrity, this measure is unnecessary and could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters who lack ready access to documentation like passports or birth certificates. Numerous studies have shown that non-citizen voting is exceedingly rare and not a widespread issue. Imposing strict documentary requirements would create significant barriers to voting, particularly for marginalized communities. Rather than safeguarding democracy, this bill risks undermining it by making it harder for eligible citizens to exercise their fundamental right to vote. I urge you to reject the SAVE Act and any similar proposals that would erect new obstacles to voter participation without justification. Our elections should be free, fair and accessible to all eligible voters. Prioritizing voter suppression over voter enfranchisement threatens the democratic principles our nation was founded upon. Instead of restricting the vote, efforts should focus on ensuring every citizen can make their voice heard at the ballot box.
