The “SAVE Our Dictatorship” Act

The SAVE Act (also referred to as the SAVE America Act) is an incredibly important issue that isn’t being talked about nearly enough. The Brennan Center has been on the case, and you can learn more on their website. The National Women’s Law Center notes the particular impacts on women and trans people who have changed their names. A passport will suffice to prove citizenship, but only about half of Americans have one. As the NWLC notes:

To be crystal clear: this bill could disenfranchise 21.3 million eligible voters who don’t have the required documents ready, and it would particularly impact married women and trans people—all in order to fix a problem that doesn’t exist. Hordes of noncitizens voting in federal elections is a myth. There is zero credible evidence that this happens in any significant numbers. Furthermore, it’s already illegal—any noncitizen caught voting would be breaking the law.
