Presented by Republicans as a bill to protect against non-citizens voting, the SAVE Act would disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans of their right to vote by adding additional requirements to register, like providing a birth certificate. It’s a xenophobic reinterpretation of so-called “Voter ID” laws which conservatives have pushed for decades to reduce the voting power of mostly poor and minority communities. They believe that high voter turnout in elections benefits Democrats.

The Senate is debating the SAVE act today, it’s already passed through the House.

Mandatory Disclaimer: there is no evidence of non-citizens voting at a scale large enough to impact U.S. elections.
