BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote.
We're calling on the Senate to reject this legislation.

If at all possible, get a passport, esp. married women who have taken husband's name.
Otherwise, contact vital statistics in your state & get birth certificate, marriage records & so on.
This is for real and we have to be prepared.
I fully anticipate even worse gerrymandering too.

What is happening to this country???
I imagine older folks will find lower percentages of proof.
We need to set up a go fund for ppl to get Passports. So the passport name matches the woman’s married name. So they can vote.
I kept my married name so that my children wouldn't have a different last name than me. And I still feel that way. There is no reason why I should have to change a damn thing!

It has not passed the Senate, only the House. It is expected to be filibustered in the Senate.
Maybe we should stop with the slow death.
At least I have my passport so already proved my citizenship!
Should piss them off🤨😉
Needless to say, we won’t be getting married if this passes.
Dark money has paid them off.
Make it not happen, women!
The SAVE Act refers to new registrations and those who need to make changes.
And there's nothing saying that is retroactive to any date, yet.
https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-save-act-would-disenfranchise-millions-of-citizens/
And for now.
They have already discussed forcing everyone to re-register.
Current verbiage in the act does not say that re registration is required, yet. 🤞
And there's a provision that says states can allow alternative documentation to prove citizenship.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22
> The bill would require an individual to present in person a passport, birth certificate or other citizenship document when registering to vote or updating their voter registration information.
You mean like the rest of the world? What's controversial here?
This act would disenfranchise me and most of my fellow Americans who re-register every year, as we must.
Especially when bundled with the initiative to digitize documents.
The, "SAVE Act", Passed The House Before, But Died In A #Democratic #Senate.
Now, FOUR Dems Have Voted FOR-And It's Headed Back-To A #Republican Senate!
MILLIONS Of Disenfranchised Voters, Including Elderly, Rural, Women, And Military!
#VOTE U.S. Back!
🇺🇸🗽
And it's intent is clear, and the intent is not election security
Maybe my penis will count for something. 🙄
This act would disenfranchise me and most of my fellow Americans who re-register every year, as we must.

Republicans who refuse to do what is right j be on the right side of history on this one WILL be remembered in history when we all come to vote again!! THIS WILL NEVER BE A + IN YOUR FAVOR.
Will a passport be enough.
By the time we find out, it'll be too damn late.
And if you're divorced, you'll probably need the marriage license and divorce decree.
I'm trying now to get the marriage license and divorce decree, but the
trouble is, I can't remember when I got divorced.
🤢

Leave it to the russian republican traitors in congress.
Tens of millions of WOMEN!!!!!
But I have to wonder how many of the maga gals have passports??
I absolutely DO NOT recognize this country anymore
They are going to kill us all.
relax
There's two players, but they play on the same team
There is always somebody, and no, I do not believe I will relax. Democrats will kill us all with their bullshit.
We fucking know. Why are the Dems complicit? Their LEADERSHIP is complicit.
You know they won't.
We all know this isn't enough.
Today it’s women, the elderly, indigenous peoples and adoptees. Tomorrow it’s YOU.
The House just passed a bill prohibiting federal judges from imposing nationwide injunctions, so it won’t really matter anyway.
Dems are the minority in the Senate.
Let's flood Republican Senators with calls and emails...DAILY!

I think you may be right!
I stand corrected
Sorry folks!
Let me go and do my homework...
My brain is overwhelmed
Yeah, we are fucked.
Bet The Farm On That!
Amazing.
There is no amount of money I will not give to primary a m*********** who votes against democracy or human rights
I would rather die poor and free than be a wealthy white person in Trump's America.
you could tell people, here are the 4 or 5 Republican senators that you need to contact
but no, you arrogants shits at the ACLU call on the senate to reject this
like anyone gaf about what you say

Demeaning, disgusting.
AND PRIMARY THOSE
REPRESENTATIVES
Hound them this next recess
Democrats who voted for the bill were Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Henry Cuellar (Texas) and Ed Case (Hawaii).
These democrats should be held accountable!
Thanks, @pelosi.house.gov
Her district isn't Seattle. You're not getting some AOC candidate winning there (and I love AOC). Its this, or something far worse.
Here's hoping it doesn't get through the Senate. They would need 60 votes, I think.
just RULERS!
Does this bill only require simple majority in order to pass in the Senate?
They had better never complain about millions not turning out to vote because they always let everyone down by not fighting back, selling out and being complicit.
We’re not, never have been, inferior to men.
Brave, strong suffragettes, some our ancestors, fought for years for the “right” to vote - scarcely 100 years ago.
Please don’t be bullied by these disgusting misogynists.
Resist & make them afraid of us all.
Henry Cuellar-Texas
Ed Case-Hawaii
Marie
Gluesenkamp Perez-Washington
Y’all WTAF get these democrats in line no one should be voting with them.
It's hard enough fighting the coup, without the folks that are supposedly on the side of liberty and sanity helping it.
Here's just some of the many issues .
The Save Act, if I'm reading it right, lists like 11.
Can the act "override" the CFR, and be more restrictive with what it considers approved documents?

Please reach out, let him know voter suppression is Unconstitutional.
Driver's license/State ID. $72
Birth cert.-$25
Marriage cert-$72
Divorce cert-$25 + $5/page
So for a married woman the base cost- $169
This is voter suppression.
This action should be illegal unless there is concurrent legislation providing free access to all of the documents needed to vote. No American citizen should have to pay to vote, ever.
This is a poll tax, & it's un-American.
All of these fees will keep those w lower incomes, cash strapped students, immigrants and married women from voting legibility. This is pure voter suppression.
Lower income folks, immigrants, the homeless, cash strapped students and many married women will be barred from voting without the ability to pay for these documents.
This is not okay!
But I categorically reject the requirements.
