The 119th Congress has made the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (“SAVE”) Act a top priority. The proposed legislation threatens to inject chaos in our elections and block millions of eligible Americans from voting by requiring documentary proof of citizenship (such as a passport or birth certificate) to register.

The SAVE Act is based on the repeatedly disproven narrative that undocumented immigrants are voting in our elections. These assertions defy basic commonsense. Not only is it practically impossible for an undocumented immigrant to register to vote, it is also ridiculous to imagine an undocumented immigrant would risk government scrutiny, arrest, and deportation — all to cast just one vote.
