Tell your Representative to Oppose the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, H.R. 22
Only citizens can vote in state and federal elections. It’s the federal law. The states enforce this law through managing voter registration and elections.
A bill in the House of Representatives, the so-called Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, would take this responsibility away from states. The bill, H.R. 22, would require in-person registration at state elections offices, whether we are registering for the first time or updating our information. A birth certificate, passport, or naturalization papers would be required each time.
Mail-in and online registration and voter registration drives would end. The tens of millions of Americans who live far from elections offices or lack proof-of-citizenship documents would be disenfranchised under the SAVE Act.
The legislation is a cynical “solution” for a problem that doesn’t exist: rampant voting by noncitizens. The SAVE Act’s real purpose is to suppress votes. Tell your representative to protect voter registration by opposing the SAVE Act, H.R. 22.
