House passes anti-voting measures in budget reconciliation. Senate must block.
House Republicans crammed pieces of the so-called SAVE America Act — the most sweeping voter suppression bill in modern history — into a budget reconciliation package.¹ Now it heads to the Senate, and Donald Trump is demanding senators kill the filibuster to ram it through "before it is too late."²
If any version of the SAVE Act becomes law, married women, people who changed their names, and others whose documents don't match perfectly could face confusion, extra hurdles, or even be turned away when they try to cast a ballot.³
Under this bill, our neighbors, co-workers, and grandmothers could be shut out of the ballot box. That's not protecting elections. It's making it harder for everyday Americans to be heard.
The bill would also force states to hand sensitive voter data — Social Security numbers, birth dates, home addresses — into federal databases that have wrongly flagged voters as ineligible.⁴
The Senate has refused to pass this bill before. Four Republicans voted against it last time, and the Senate parliamentarian already ruled its provisions don't belong in reconciliation.¹ The votes to stop it exist — if senators hear from us, loudly, right now.
