The SAVE Act, recently passed by the House, mandates proof of citizenship for voter registration, potentially disenfranchising many individuals, particularly transgender people and married women. This legislation requires documents like U.S. passports or birth certificates, which could pose challenges for those in rural areas as registration must occur in person. Despite claims from Republicans that it won't affect current voters, changes in registration due to address or name updates could impact many. Critics argue this move could end online voter registration and complicate access for already marginalized communities.
The SAVE Act will disproportionately disenfranchise marginalized groups, including transgender individuals and married women, by introducing stringent proof of citizenship requirements for voter registration.
Supporters of the SAVE Act argue it ensures only eligible citizens vote, but critics warn it greatly complicates the registration process and prevents many from voting.
