Please reject SAVE Act's voter restriction measures

The SAVE Act proposes significant restrictions on voter registration that could disenfranchise many eligible citizens. The requirement to provide documentary proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or naturalization papers, places an undue burden on the constitutional right to vote, especially for marginalized communities. Many citizens may lack ready access to these documents due to various socioeconomic factors. Additionally, the data sharing provisions raise privacy concerns by requiring federal agencies to share personal information with election officials without adequate safeguards. The threat of deportation for non-citizens improperly registered could deter eligible immigrants from exercising their voting rights out of fear. I urge you to reject this harmful legislation that undermines free and fair access to the ballot box, a cornerstone of American democracy. Instead, we should focus efforts on improving voter access and education to ensure maximum participation by all eligible citizens in the electoral process. Voting is a sacred right that must be vigorously protected, not restricted through unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles.
