I am writing to express my strong opposition to the SAVE Act, a piece of legislation that poses a significant threat to the voting rights of millions of women across our nation. This bill would require that voter IDs match birth certificates, which would effectively disenfranchise approximately 69 million women born in the U.S. who have changed their names due to marriage or other reasons.
The implications of the SAVE Act reach far beyond individual names; they represent a broader effort to suppress votes and undermine the democratic process.
Voter suppression undermines the very foundation of our democracy. Every eligible citizen should have the right to vote without facing unnecessary obstacles, and this bill creates a dangerous precedent. It is not just an issue of names; it is about ensuring that all voices are heard and represented in our government.
I urge you to vote against the SAVE Act and stand up for the rights of all citizens to participate in our democracy. Let us work together to protect voting rights, not restrict them.
Thank you for your attention to this critical issue.
