Republicans' SAVE Act would require documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. A standard driver's license is not enough. But over 21 MILLION eligible voters don't have or can't afford those requirements. It's voter suppression in plain sight.

The SAVE America Act requires voters to have proof of citizenship with them to vote — not just your driver’s license, but a passport or birth certificate. This is a Republican attempt at voter suppression — plain and simple.

Republicans' so-called "SAVE America Act" would require every American citizen show a 1) Passport or 2) Government ID AND a birth certificate to vote. Millions of Americans don't have a passport or ready access to their birth certificate. This is a voter suppression bill. Plain and simple. I will be voting NO.

NEW: Kamala Harris says the SAVE Act can't be passed because "something like 40% of Americans don’t have those documents.” "The SAVE Act would require that people show a birth certificate or a passport... It's something like 40% of Americans don't have those documents." Kamala, you don't have to keep selling me.

Democrats are coming out in droves to oppose the SAVE Act, and have resorted to calling it a "poll tax." The SAVE Act makes it so people have to show proof they are U.S. citizens, like a passport or birth certificate, to register to vote in federal elections. It also requires states to check that voters are citizens and remove non-citizens from voter lists. That is not a poll tax. Plain and simple.

Gabe Cohen broke down the contentious parts of the SAVE Act. - To vote, you'll need a Real ID with citizenship (only 5 states have it) - To register, you'll need an ID and a birth certificate, hospital birth record, adoption decree, naturalization certificate, or American Indian KIC card. The big one: 21 million eligible voters don't have easy access to proof of citizenship.

Bill Maher on the SAVE Act: Every American will have to appear in person with a birth certificate, photo ID, and a passport. Raphael Warnock: This is not a voter ID bill. It's a voter suppression bill because Trump knows that his presidency is an abject failure. He does not want people to vote.

Trump wants to require proof of citizenship to vote. And a driver’s license — even a REAL ID — won’t cut it. Voters would need to provide either a valid U.S. passport or an original birth certificate. “Do you carry your birth certificate with you?” Marc Elias asks. Learn more:

SAVE Act aka “show your papers” law If you don’t have a passport or ready access to your birth certificate, you’re not alone. About 21 million Americans could be blocked from voting, just like you. Why are Trump and Republicans pushing this? Because Republicans do better when fewer people vote. #HandsOffHerVote

Congressman Joe Morelle claims that the SAVE act requires you to show a birth certificate or passport when registering to vote. Then goes on to say that you'll have to pay $130 dollars for a passport. You know what you need to get a passport, Joe Morelle? A birth certificate. Why would you need to buy a passport if you already have a birth certificate? Great job, genius...

They call it voter suppression. Here is every burden the SAVE Act places on a married woman to vote: A birth certificate. $15–$34. A marriage license copy. $15–$25. A driver’s license. $25 every five years. 80% of Americans support this. Systemic disenfranchisement or common sense.

Republicans are pushing the SAVE Act—a bill requiring a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. It could disenfranchise millions of married women who changed their last names, since marriage certificates aren’t accepted as valid ID. #HandsOffHerVote

Black Americans are nearly twice as likely to lack a birth certificate or passport — the exact documents the SAVE Act requires to vote. Coincidence? I think not. Call your Senator: 202-224-3121. #SaveActTaxesVoting

83% of Americans support voter ID, including 71% of Democrats and 76% of black voters. BUT the federal policy Trump and the GOP are pushing goes FAR beyond Voter ID. It demands DOCUMENTARY PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP. That means your driver's license isn't good enough. Your REAL ID isn't good enough. You need a BIRTH CERTIFICATE or PASSPORT — which 21 million Americans don't have handy. That's not voter ID. That's a wholly different policy regime that requires adequate time and resources to implement properly — or millions of lawful voters will be unfairly barred from the ballot booth.

Susan Collins is lying about the SAVE Act. The bill requires proof-of-citizenship documents that millions of Americans don't have access to. It's nothing like buying alcohol or staying at a hotel. It's a "show us your papers" bill. It's about voter suppression, not voter ID.

The House passed Trump’s “SAVE America Act” (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) on February 11th requiring a passport or birth certificate to vote in federal elections. The bill has not passed the Senate yet. If it does, 21 million Americans will be at risk of losing their voting rights. Only 1 in 3 Black Americans have a valid passport. Nearly half of Black Americans under 30 don’t have a driver’s license with their current name and address. Millions of women whose names changed after marriage don’t have matching documents. This isn’t about election security. Noncitizen voting is already illegal and virtually nonexistent. This is about creating barriers that look neutral on paper but devastate our communities at the ballot box. They’re not protecting democracy. They’re dismantling it. This is voter suppression in plain sight. 🎥: Rep. Lauren Underwood #SAVEAct #VoterSuppression #VotingRights

The SAVE Act isn't about voter ID, it's about creating barriers to voting — rejecting military IDs, forcing seniors to find their birth certificate or buy a passport. They want to force millions of people to re-register to vote because they think that’s the only way they can win.

Republicans want to sell the SAVE Trump Act as a voter ID bill. But that is not the reality. From requiring birth certificates to $165 passports, their bill would create expensive obstacles that would bar MILLIONS of eligible voters from participating in our upcoming elections.
