“We are glad the SAVE Act died in the Senate.
To every American who called, wrote and organized to make their voice heard, thank you – your voice matters,” said Laura Williamson, senior policy advisor, SPLC.
“While we know opponents of a multiracial, inclusive democracy will continue to push the SAVE Act and other attempts to block the right to vote, we know the American people reject these efforts and have the power to stop them.”.
The SAVE America Act would require citizens to present documents such as a passport or birth certificate to register to vote.
This is the second time the SAVE Act has failed to move forward in the Senate.
Those who seek to restrict the right to vote are relentless, and our commitment to fighting them is unwavering.
The ability to vote must be defended every day, and the SPLC will continue to be there.”. »
