The SAVE America Act would make it harder for millions of Americans to vote, and the Senate is considering it right now.

The House passed this bill on February 11 on a near party-line vote. The bill now heads to the Senate, where Senate Majority Leader John Thune has pledged to bring it to the floor.

What the bill actually does:

• Requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
• Mandates strict photo ID requirements at the polls.
• Disqualifies most standard driver’s licenses unless paired with additional citizenship documents.
• Effectively eliminates online and mail-in voter registration by requiring in-person document presentation.
• Mandates aggressive voter roll purges using error-prone government databases — with no guaranteed notice to voters who are removed. 

While supporters say it’s needed for election integrity, the reality is that this will add barriers for eligible voters, especially people who don’t have quick access to citizenship documents (some estimates put this around tens of millions, including roughly ~21 million voting-age citizens).

The Truth:

It is already a federal felony for non-citizens to vote, and verified cases of non-citizen voting are rare. Yet similar proof-of-citizenship laws in states like Kansas and Arizona have blocked tens of thousands of eligible citizens from registering before courts stepped in. 

The SAVE America Act would not protect our elections, it would block eligible Americans from the ballot. 

Tell your Senators to oppose the SAVE Act. Protect the right to vote.
