Show Notes
The SAVE America Act introduces a citizenship proof requirement at federal election polling places, causing issues for longtime voters with name changes. This bill, which also tightens absentee ballot rules, poses significant challenges for millions of Americans, particularly women whove changed names after marriage or divorce. The process of obtaining matching documents can be time-consuming, expensive, and impractical before an election. Poll workers lack the capability to handle multiple mismatched papers. The bill threatens to disenfranchise eligible citizens, including rural voters, older voters, students, hospital patients, and military overseas. Lawmakers must abandon this bill to preserve easy access to voting and maintain a strong democracy.
