Congress is back in DC, and the Senate is only scheduled to be in session until October 4th. That means supporters of the SAVE Act may schedule a Senate vote in the next two weeks, before they leave for recess in October.
We need to remind our Senators that we oppose the SAVE Act.
This bill would require citizenship documentation to register to vote, even though voters in every state are already required to affirm or verify their citizenship status when registering. Additionally, the bill would make voting more difficult by mandating that voters prove their identity using a photo ID from a strict list when casting a ballot.
The 2026 midterm election is just around the corner. Election officials across the country are working diligently to prepare for the midterm election, and the last thing they need is a major change to voting rules with less than 60 days until Election Day.
This renewed attempt to pass the SAVE Act is part of a long list of tactics that seek to make it more difficult for voters of color and naturalized citizens to vote. Americans do not need MORE obstacles to vote. The League will not stand idly by, and we need your help to stop these unnecessary requirements.
