Friend,

When House Republicans are sworn in for the incoming 119th Congress, they
plan to move quickly to pass legislation that will make it harder for
Americans to register to vote in federal elections. The SAVE Act would
require proof of citizenship whenever people register to vote—even if
voters are just updating their registration because of a move or a name
change. And since a traditional driver’s license won’t count as adequate
proof, millions of people risk losing their legal right to cast a ballot.

reject the SAVE Act now! >>

Trump and MAGA Republicans have spent years repeating the lie that
noncitizens are voting in droves. Noncitizen voting fraud is nearly
nonexistent and the “solutions” to this false problem proposed by the SAVE
Act will end up preventing many eligible voters from registering and
casting their ballots.

The SAVE Act would require proof of citizenship to register to vote or
even to simply update an existing registration. But the forms of
identification used by the vast majority of Americans don’t actually
provide citizenship information. For many, proving citizenship could
suddenly become an impossibly high hurdle.

This bill would also effectively put to an end voter registration through
the mail or online. That’s because under the SAVE Act election officials
would have to review voters’ documentation in person. This creates an
especially heavy burden for working people, rural residents and people
with disabilities. In fact, this bill does nothing but create unnecessary
obstacles that would only discourage people from registering and
participating in our elections.

the right to vote! >>

Congress should not be in the business of suppressing votes. Thank you for
your advocacy on this issue.
