Anti-democracy power brokers are funding multiple attempts to make voting more difficult and complicated through ID laws: -
The SAVE Act will likely be voted through the US House of Representatives this week. This voter suppression bill would wreak havoc on our national elections by requiring documentary proof of citizenship (like a passport or birth certificate) to even register to vote. Millions of eligible voters do not have ready access to these kinds of documents.
-
"Californians for Voter ID," a group led by state Republicans via grassroots apparatus Reform California, is preparing to gather signatures to put a voter ID and proof of citizenship ballot referendum for a constitutional amendment before voters in November 2026. Initial polling and historical precedent indicate a strong likelihood of this moving forward and this deceptive referendum could pass unless we act now.
-
In Texas, SB 16, which would require documentary proof of citizenship to register, has already passed in the state Senate and is poised to move forward in the state House of Representatives. VoteRiders submitted expert testimony and is working with partners to advocate against this, because if it’s enacted, it would make Texas elections even more confusing and difficult to participate in.
We’re also advocating for the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act in Congress, which would make it easier for eligible voters to vote, and push back against many voter suppression measures.
