If this bill passes in the Senate, it would require a license or REAL ID as well as proof of citizenship in order to vote. If your name is different on your license/REAL ID than it is on your birth certificate, you will need to get a passport in order to be eligible to vote. This would disenfranchise an estimated 70 million married and trans people.
They need 60 votes to pass this in the Senate, which would require all Republicans as well as seven Democrats. Call and message your Senators and tell them to vote NAY on the SAVE Act!
The sort of bizarre thing about this kind of trash legislation is, if you take a moment to consider it as being in good faith (which it’s not but…), it lays the groundwork for delegitimizing its own supporters.
If the elections were so insecure and widely defrauded as to justify and demand this legislation, then there’s zero reason to believe those seeking to pass the legislation have any legitimacy whatsoever. After all, they may have only gotten their positions by exploiting the elections’ insecurity, and if not exploiting it, benefiting from it nonetheless and should in turn resign instead of further diminishing the integrity of the governments’ institutions.
However, obviously they don’t want people to consider that angle, and this is mainly a means to disenfranchise voters and sow further institutional distrust while encouraging party loyalty, as there is no genuine basis for this legislation.
well they can just say their support is so strong that they won despite widespread voter fraud against them. believe it or not, their supporters will eat it all up.
Our representatives will keep voting for this, democrat and republican.
We have to physically stop them to make them stop.
