The SAVE Act, promoted by Congressional Republicans as preventing non-citizen voting, would actually make voter registration significantly harder for millions of Americans through additional documentation requirements and stricter identification rules.

    You’re about to hear all kinds of things about a bill called the SAVE Act. Congressional Republicans are using it as a cover to take away voting rights from thousands of Americans—all while claiming it’s about stopping non-citizens from voting. 5 things to know 🧵👇🏻

  2. #2

    Non-citizen voting is already illegal. Non-citizens cannot vote, and if they try, they will be deported. They know that.

  3. #3

    It makes voter registration harder for millions of Americans. It would require additional paperwork that a lot of people don’t have on hand.

  4. #4

    If you’ve changed your name, like when you get married, you could be blocked from voting altogether.

  5. #5

    It would require active-duty service members deployed abroad to return home just so they can register to vote.

  6. #6

    Finally, it’s unconstitutional. It’s illegal. States like Kansas and Arizona have tried to pass similar bills. They’ve failed.

  7. #7

    The SAVE Act isn’t about election security – it’s about making it harder for Americans to vote.
