Why This Matters

Your Voting Rights:

The SAVE Act could remove you from voter rolls if you lack a passport or birth certificate—barriers that disproportionately affect women who changed names, students, elderly Americans, and low-income families

Taxpayer Costs:

Kansas' similar law cost millions and blocked 30,000+ eligible voters (99% were U.S. citizens), proving these laws waste your tax money while solving a non-existent problem

Election Access:

Third-party voter registration drives would end entirely since volunteers cannot verify citizenship documents—eliminating registration opportunities in your community

Federal Overreach:

Republicans claim "states rights" while forcing federal mandates on state election systems, violating their own constitutional principles when convenient for voter suppression
