Americans do not need MORE obstacles to vote.
Americans do not need MORE obstacles to vote.
Update: July 2
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) says the SAVE America Act, President Trump’s No. 1 legislative priority, is “dead” on Capitol Hill because there is not enough time to change election laws before the midterms — even if Senate Republicans muster 60 votes for the legislation, which is unlikely.
“Unless they do the work to get to the 60 votes, they know it’s dead, and so all this is theater,” Tillis told The News & Observer, repeating arguments he has made in Washington calling on GOP colleagues to move on to other priorities.

DEMOCRATS OPPOSE THIS BILL!
*The SAVE Act (and companion SAVE America Act) requires voters to provide documented proof of U.S. citizenship (such as a passport, military ID, or birth certificate) when registering to vote in federal elections.
Every American, including people who have been registered for decades, would need to appear in person at an election office with qualifying documents. Online voter registration, which 42 states currently rely on, would be upended or eliminated. Mail registration would end entirely.
