The SAVE Act would require Americans to drive, fly, or even take a ferry to exercise their constitutional right to vote. Alaskan Senator Murkowski

@warnock.senate.gov: "This really is NOT a partisan issue." The SAVE Act would deny millions of Americans their constitutional right to vote.
The SAVE Act would make registering to vote an added burden for U.S. service members and their families. Hear from U.S. Army veteran Naveed Shah (@armyofnaveed.bsky.social):
Seems like Republicans only have respect to states' rights over election administration when it comes to North Dakota
One more thing about the SAVE Act that's laughable, North Dakota, which doesn't do voter registration would be COMPLETELY EXEMPT. So while Americans in all other 49 states would need to show a passport or birth certificate in person to register to vote, North Dakotans can just walz to the polls.
There are ALREADY documentation requirements to be able to register to vote. âŒïž
The SAVE Act would upend this process and make every American citizen put in the work, time, and resources to exercise their constitutional right to vote. https://ampr.gs/40PaPJz
"What is the SAVE America Act really saving us from?" @bluntrochester.senate.gov calls out the real motive behind Trump's SAVE Act.
The SAVE Act is a key part of the Trump administration's plan to manipulate election rules and take away the people's power to decide election outcomes. https://ampr.gs/4rMkcpS
On This International Womenâs Day, the SAVE America Act Reminds Us the Fight for Womenâs Suffrage Is Still Being Fought | "Weâre about 100 years out from getting the right to vote & now weâre fighting this bill which would make it harder for millions of women to vote,â said @gbedekovics.bsky.social
Jesus Christ, Polis, have a little respect for your office and your state.
Peters betrayed her public office in a way that struck at the very basis of our democracy. Also note that she was convicted on *multiple other* counts -- including conspiracy to commit impersonation and official misconduct.
CAP's expert, Greta Bedekovics, answers the most googled questions about the anti-voter SAVE Act and the SAVE America Act.
As a Minnesotan, I remember that very well. Senator Tina Smithâs staff sent his office a heartbreaking and powerful letter/email after his despicable comments. I think about it all the time: www.sltrib.com/news/politic...
Trump just described voting as "the greatest privilege of them all."
We don't call it a privilege here. It's a right.
Trump reinforced his support of the SAVE America Act during SOTU. One part he conveniently forgets? It requires states to hand over voter rolls to DHS & creates a federalized surveillance system of voters under Kristi Noem. The last thing Americans want is her in charge of their voter reg status.
Trump also said that is the SAVE Act passes, Republicans wonât lose an election for 50 years. Heâs afraid Americans will hold his administration and his allies accountable at the ballot box so he wants to keep citizens from voting.
Trump called for passage of the SAVE Act again during SOTU. Calling SAVE âvoter IDâ is MAGA sugarcoating MAGA to try to make Americans swallow this toxic bill. SAVE requires Americans to show a passport or birth certificate. REAL IDs donât count. This isnât election integrity, itâs election rigging.
Must read from AK Sen. Lisa Murkowski on why sheâs opposing the SAVE Act. One chief reason being how terrible the bill would be for rural communities and that fact that some Alaskans would have to fly to show their passport or birth certificate to an election official đ www.adn.com/opinions/202...
Sheâs not wrong! The SAVE Act is so badly written, it mandates state officials make printers and scanners available to the public for scanning documents. They provide no $ for implantation to overhaul voting nationwide but do this. âhard to cheat, EASY to voteâ right?âŠ.
House set to pass new version of SAVE Act today, making terrible bill even worse. Could disenfranchise:
-21 million Americans without access to citizenship papers
-69 million married women who took partnerâs name
-21 million without current drivers license

BREAKING: The SAVE Act is once again up for a vote tomorrowâit's not a voter ID bill, it's a show-your-papers mandate.
People are talking about it but itâs definitely not breaking through! Hereâs a letter from many Secreaties of State who oversee DMVs/REAL ID saying they wouldnât work and pleading for sponsors of this bill not to upend REAL ID www.sos.mn.gov/media/zzia53...
Many people think the SAVE Act wouldnât apply to them because they have REAL ID. But thatâs NOT true!! A REAL ID license is NOT proof of citizenship-itâs proof of legal presence. Permanent residents + visa holders can get REAL ID & in nearly all states they donât look any different!
Th SAVE Act is up for another vote tomorrow! This is NOT a voter ID bill! It would force Americans to show a passport or birth certificate in person at their election office. This is a real drive someone would have to make to show their docs to an election official! 8 hours! And theyâre not alone.
Gun Owners of America is lobbying Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require a majority of Americans to show a passport to register to vote.
But GOA opposes any law that requires showing a drivers license to buy a gun.
These are not serious people.
Honestly this could not be funnier if you tried. Sen Cramer ND supports the SAVE Act which would require doc proof of citizenship for voter regâŠMeanwhile ND is the ONLY state that doesnât do voter registration! ND would likely be exempt, but he supports making voting harder for millions of Americans
Text SAVE to 63033 to tell your Senators to vote NO on the SAVE Act and stop voter disenfranchisement.
Feels like a crime to return to this BS after MLK DayâŠThere is no version of the SAVE Act that is feasible that would not disenfranchise millions of American citizens â140M+ donât have a passport, 70M women donât have matching documents, & in person means making rural folks drive hours to show docs
The Trump administration's threat to fire employees is not about so-called government efficiencyâit's clear political retaliation at the expense of peopleâs livelihoods, careers, and the vital services they provide to the American people. More from Greta Bedekovics: https://ow.ly/jBHZ50X4kNk
Make no mistake, the SAVE Act is not about preventing noncitizen voting, its a bill to deny citizens the right to vote. Look what's happening in TX with blatant attempts to silence citizens to grab more congressional seats. So yea, its not about election integrity

On the 60th anniversary of the VRA, conservatives thought it was a good idea to launch a bus tour to support the SAVE Act-legislation that would restrict citizens' right to vote.... Bus tours were instrumental in the fight for voting rights during the civil rights movement. They know no shame
