The SAVE Act could block millions of Americans from voting. It is not common sense. If passed, it would be the first time in history Congress passed a vote suppression law. #SOTU
Voting by mail is safe, secure, and used by dozens of countries like Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Iceland, and the United Kingdom. #SOTU

The SAVE America Act would hand over your personal data to Kristi Noem and the Department of Homeland Security. We will not let it happen. #SOTU
