LWV CEO Celina Stewart joined Senator Alex Padilla and other leaders in a press conference to talk about the SAVE Act.

The SAVE America Act would eliminate most common forms of voter registration, including voter registration drives, online and mail registration, and same-day registration, reducing the number of voters who can register and participate in elections.

It would also make voting significantly harder for as many as 69 million married women, along with seniors and rural, low-income, and minority voters. It would disenfranchise up to 21 million citizens who can’t readily access their passports and birth certificates.

If enacted, the SAVE America Act would take effect immediately, sowing chaos in state election administration and fueling attacks against hardworking election officials by exposing them to new criminal liability.
