Action for Tuesday, 4/1/25
STOP them from trying to stop YOU (when it comes to your right to vote)!
How relentless and desperate are the efforts to keep you from voting? The “SAVE Act” can help explain. The “SAVE Act” would scare newly naturalized citizens out of voting and make it harder for millions of eligible voters to cast a ballot – especially seniors, women, students, veterans, and rural voters. House Republicans are hell bent on making it harder to vote – no matter where you live.
Here’s how their “SAVE Act” puts YOUR vote at risk:
- Prove your citizenship – again: Even if you’re a lifelong voter, if you move across town, change your last name when getting married, or switch parties, you’d have to provide your passport or birth certificate with your current legal name – in person at your local elections office – just to stay registered.
- Get stuck in long lines: Election officials would face impossible workloads, causing confusion and delays.
- Lose your right to vote – without warning: If outdated records can’t verify your status, you could be purged from the rolls without even knowing it.
The SAVE Act’s barriers could strip millions of eligible Americans of our right to vote – especially the 146 million Americans without passports and the 69 million American women whose birth certificates don’t match their married names. Congress must REJECT the anti-voter “SAVE Act” and protect our right to vote.
