Interview: "Republicans are singularly focused on making it harder to vote".
Trump's SAVE Act targets women, poor, rural & trans voters.
"Millions of citizens who lack easy access to required forms of documentation are now at risk of disenfranchisement."
Groups most at risk include people who've changed their names; older voters who never received birth certificates; & rural voters who may face difficulties with registering to vote.

Experts are calling it “the worst voter suppression bill ever seriously considered by Congress.” As the U.S. Senate prepares to vote on a Trump-backed voter ID bill known as the SAVE Act, millions of citizens who lack easy access to its required forms of documentation are now at risk of disenfranchisement. “Republicans are singularly focused on making it harder to vote and pursuing this MAGA fever dream,” explains Ari Berman, national voting rights correspondent for Mother Jones. “It is the overarching goal of the Republican Party now to make it harder to vote.” The groups most at risk of disenfranchisement include people who have changed their names after marriage, older voters who never received birth certificates, rural voters who could find it increasingly difficult to register to vote and trans people who have changed their names or gender markers on government documents. The GOP and MAGA movement’s goal, says Imara Jones, the founder and CEO of TransLash Media, “is to enshrine anti-trans discrimination in the law, because what they’re doing is using trans people as a road test in order to try to figure out how to disenfranchise and marginalize and strip citizenship away from millions of Americans who disagree with them.”
#ICYMI, Sen. Lisa #Murkowski (R-Alaska) is the ONLY #Republican who opposes the #GOP's #SAVEAct Voter Disenfranchisement law.
(UPDATE: Departing Sen. Tom Tillis is also a "No".)
She's a bit wordy and took forever to get to the point, so I clipped the relevant portion on CSPAN.

There are only 11 locations in the state of Alaska where a voter can show up in-person to present their ID/proof-of-citizenship in order to register to vote. Murkowski points out that many simply won't bother to endure the time, expense, and hardship to register. And for many, they can not afford a $1,000 expense (between flying & obtaining the necessary documentation) just to vote. Earlier (pre-clip) Murkowski says she "does not" believe this is the intent of the SAVE Act, but she's wrong. It absolutely is.

A “solution” that makes it harder for citizens to vote is not a solution. It's the problem.
A “solution” that makes it expensive for citizens to vote is not a solution. It's the problem.
A “solution” that makes it harder AND more expensive for women who are citizens to vote is not a solution. It's the problem.

The SAVE Act focuses on requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration, which supporters say protects election integrity, while opponents argue it could make registration more difficult for some eligible voters. The criticism reflects a wider political dispute over whether voting laws expand access or impose barriers, especially during periods of heightened policy debate. — A few thoughts before bed Follow @goodtrouble.tt for more.

WASHINGTON, DC—Assuming that there must be a good reason for the order, U.S. citizens lined up at elementary schools and community centers across the nation Monday for government-mandated fingerprinting. "I’m not exactly sure what this is all about," said Ft. Smith, AR, resident Meredith Lovell while waiting in line. "But given all the crazy stuff that’s going on these days, I’m sure the government has a very good reason." Said Amos Hawkins, a Rockford, IL, delivery driver: "I guess this is another thing they have to do to ensure our freedom."
