BREAKING: House Republicans just advanced their voter suppression bill in the Rules Committee.
If the Rule passes tomorrow, the SAVE Act will automatically be added to the National Defense Authorization Act when it passes.
This bill will make it harder to register to vote, especially if you’re a woman, live in a rural community, serve in the military, or are a Tribal voter.
If you’re wealthy enough to have a passport, you’re fine. But more than 21 million Americans don’t have one. Under the SAVE Act, a REAL driver’s license in many states or other common forms of ID wouldn’t be enough to register.
Don’t call this a voter ID bill. A true voter ID law could accept a REAL ID driver’s license.
This isn’t about election security. It’s about making it harder for eligible Americans to vote.
