Reject the SAVE America Act

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression and voter purge bill. Congress continues to introduce bills that would require voters to present documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) to register and/or vote. It is already illegal for noncitizens to register and vote in federal or state elections. Requiring documentary proof of American citizenship to register to vote in federal elections is unnecessary and seeks to divide us. It simply creates another barrier to voting. 

Celina Stewart, Esq., Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the League of Women Voters, US Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), US Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, US Representative Joe Morelle (NY-25), Ranking Member of the House Administration Committee, and voting rights advocates held a press conference rejecting the SAVE America Act, an extreme voter suppression bill debated in the Senate. The push to pass the anti-voter legislation follows President Trump’s threat to stop signing legislation until its passage.
