The SAVE Act (H.R. 22) - "A Voter Suppression Bill"
"This bill would hinder millions of eligible Americans from registering to vote by requiring citizens to present a birth certificate or passport in person to register.
Millions of Americans don't have easy access to these documents.
-More than 21.3 million Americans lack immediate access to documentary proof of citizenship
-More than 140 million Americans do not have a passport & elderly Americans are one of the demographic groups least likely to have one
-69 million women who have taken their spouse's last names do not have a birth certificate that matches their legal name
-Similarly, transgender people who change their name to reflect their gender identity may be denied new passports & become ineligible to register
-Disabled people are already must more likely to encounter a difficulty while voting compared to a non-disabled voter...
-Citizens of color are three times more likely than white citizens to lack documents..."
