The SAVE Act, voted on in Congress, aims to impose stricter requirements for voter registration, a move seen as suppressive rather than expansive, threatening millions' voting rights. This legislation follows President Trump's recent actions perceived as unconstitutional regarding the electoral process. Experts like Wendy Weiser argue that the SAVE Act would mark the first instance of Congress legislating to restrict voter access. The bill proposes requiring documents such as passports or birth certificates, likely disenfranchising a significant portion of eligible voters, raising concerns over the integrity of free and fair elections in the U.S.
In the past, every time Congress has passed rules regarding elections, they've improved the voting process, expanded access to voting, but the SAVE Act, if passed, would be the first time in our nation's history that Congress passes a law suppressing votes.
This week's vote will follow President Donald Trump's unconstitutional power grab of an executive order on voting last week, designed to secure an unconstitutional third term.
