""Under the guise of addressing a non-existent voter fraud problem, this bill would create onerous restrictions. Simply put: this would establish a 21st century poll tax, and it cannot be allowed to move forward.""
""The legitimacy of our democracy rests on ensuring that everyone who is entitled to vote has reasonable access to the ballot box, but this legislation would do precisely the opposite.""
""A law like the SAVE Act would only further cause bureaucratic confusion and disenfranchise wide swaths of people.""
""The bill refers to such care as 'genital and bodily mutilation' and 'chemical castration of a minor.'""
LGBTQ+ and civil rights organizations warn that the SAVE America Act would target transgender individuals and restrict their voting rights. The bill aims to tighten identification rules, disproportionately affecting trans people. It is described as a modern poll tax that could disenfranchise many voters. The legislation also seeks to ban trans women and girls from participating in sports aligned with their gender identity and restrict access to gender-affirming care for trans youth, labeling it as harmful procedures.
