"Why is this [i.e., the SAVE Act] the top priority?

Since the start of this administration, Trump has led a concerted strategy to undermine our elections. That strategy has only escalated as we draw ever closer to the midterms."

~ Michael Waldman and Emily Whitehead

@wdlindsy After my father’s recent death, one of the many documents I saw for the first time was his birth certificate—with his name spelled wrong. Both his first name AND his last name. Both wrong.

Luckily, his parents got that changed, and I have the affidavit that shows they got his name(s) corrected.

How many other “errors” would keep people from voting—even if they DO have the original birth certificate?

"But the real objective is to make it harder for 'undesirable' people to vote, fast‑track the changes before November, and let gerrymanders and the Senate do the rest."

"Donald Trump isn’t just trying to win the 2026 midterms. He’s trying to rig them in advance and dare the country to stop him. The strategy isn’t subtle. It’s happening in press conferences, White House statements, and floor speeches. It has a catchy, patriotic name — the 'SAVE America Act' — and it’s being sold as common‑sense 'election integrity.'”

"Studies show that necessitating proof of citizenship for voter registration, like requirements for photo identification for voting, will have a disproportionate effect on lower-income individuals and people of color."

"It is estimated that about half of people in this country do not have a current passport. Also, many people do not have a copy of their original birth certificate. And birth certificates often do not reflect a person’s current name. An estimated 69 million married people changed their name from that on their birth certificate."

"This massive disenfranchisement push mimics Jim Crow legislation (e.g., requiring a passport, which can cost $165, is akin to a poll tax; obtaining a birth certificate may involve travel to the county clerk in one’s place of birth and paying a fee). It is blatantly unconstitutional, a gambit by the most lawless and corrupt regime in history (whose identity is rooted in election denial) to take over elections from the states."

"The same crowd that deplored the notion of modifying the filibuster when Democrats wanted to pass civil rights legislation, now is pushing to do away with it to achieve the most massive disenfranchisement effort since the end of Reconstruction. (Not coincidentally, the modern counterpart is also rooted in the South and championed by White Christian nationalists aimed at securing white supremacy.)"
