New SAVE Act Proposal: Will Voter Registration Soon Mandate Birth Certificates and Passports?

Amid the ongoing political upheaval, the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) is advancing through Congress, potentially unnoticed. This legislation mandates U.S. citizenship verification via birth certificates or passports for voter registration, creating barriers that could disproportionately affect voters of color and married women. The League of Women Voters condemns this act as detrimental to democracy. Concurrently, House Bill 127 aims to eliminate voter registration drives, imposing further hindrance on civic engagement. Citizens must act swiftly to safeguard their voting rights.
