HR 22, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, will require that every eligible voter provide documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote even though voters in every state are already required to affirm or verify their citizenship status when registering and voting. 

Every eligible voter could be unnecessarily burdened by the SAVE Act at some point when they update or change their voter registration information. 

Congress must act to ensure that every eligible US citizen has the freedom to vote unimpeded by discriminatory rules rooted in fear and division.
