We all want elections that are free, fair, accurate, and accessible to all voters. The freedom to vote is fundamental and nonnegotiable.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, and others like it, are assaults on our democracy, our ability to vote.
It puts voting out of reach or difficult for citizens — starting with women, people of color, young people, older people and immigrants.

The SAVE America Act is not about election security. The documentary proof of citizenship requirement is illegal, discriminatory and unnecessary, as current law already mandates that only citizens may vote in state and federal elections. This act would:

• Effectively end online voter registration
• Eliminate third-party voter registration drives conducted by nonprofits
• Place substantial new burdens on state/ local election officials
• Disproportionately impact eligible citizens who lack ready access to documentation/transportation
  

Stand up for your democracy and every American’s right to Vote. Tell Congress no to the SAVE America Act.

Urge your Senators to oppose the SAVE Act
