The SAVE Act: A Threat to Voter Access and Democracy

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act is being framed as a measure to protect election integrity, but in reality, it is a dangerous piece of legislation that could severely restrict voter registration access for millions of eligible Americans. Introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), this bill imposes stringent new documentation requirements that would disproportionately affect women, people of color, low-income individuals, and rural voters—groups that already face systemic barriers to the ballot box.
