I personally don't believe either trump or miller would ever see the lists. They must have better things to do with their time.
I agree though that voter rolls are not perfect, and likely never will be. Similarly, I doubt if there has been an election in modern times that has had the outcome changed due to ineligible voters. And I believe that anyone who wants to get an ID to vote can get one, and I believe that the entire "married woman will be disinfranchised" is a BS argument and I believe that anyone who votes should have to show an photo ID.
Now having said all that, I don't know why either party is so hung up over this bill. We have far greater problems to deal with at the federal level. States are supposed to deal with elections, make/allow them
I'm tired of repeating it over and over so why don't you prove this
won't be an issue for women, because the government certainly hasn't.
Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (“SAVE Act”) (H.R. 8281)
One Pager
• The SAVE Act’s burdens are extreme—most Americans would be unable to register to
vote using their driver’s license or other state-provided identification alone.
o Millions of Americans, including tens of thousands in each congressional district,
would be prevented from registering to vote easily, if at all.
• The SAVE Act is a federal takeover of state election administration that would amend
the National Voter Registration Act to mandate states require Americans to provide
documentary proof of citizenship (“DPOC”) to register to vote in federal elections.
o These provisions will apply to all new registrants across the United States—
including already-registered voters who update their registration as the result of a
move, a name change, or a party switch.
• Americans would not be able to register to vote with their driver’s license—REAL IDs
do not meet the SAVE Act’s requirements of showing a holder’s citizenship, and noncitizens are legally permitted to have REAL IDs.
o Americans would not be able to use military IDs or Tribal IDs alone when
registering to vote.
o People who have changed their names, including millions of married women,
would not be allowed to use their birth certificates when proving their citizenship.
• The SAVE Act would disallow states from accepting the NVRA’s mail voter registration
application unless the applicant presents DPOC in person at the office of an appropriate
election official.
o The SAVE Act would essentially gut mail and online voter registration.
• The SAVE Act would require individuals to bring DPOC to vote if they live in a state with
same-day voter registration and intend on both registering to vote and casting a ballot at
the same time.
o This would pose a significant burden to many voters, most of whom do not show
up to their polling places with their passports or birth certificates.
• The SAVE Act would lead to purges of eligible voters based on faulty sources of
citizenship information, including certain state agency databases that may contain
unreliable citizenship data.
• The SAVE Act would require the heads of federal agencies to respond to citizenship
data about voters to state governments—which could number in the thousands—
within 24 hours.
o Given the extremely short turnaround time, this process would undoubtably be rife
with flaws and significantly overburden already-taxed federal agencies.
• The SAVE Act would subject election officials to hefty criminal fines and up to five years
in federal prison for simple mistakes.
o These criminal penalties would also apply to any executive branch employee who
provides undefined and overboard “material assistance” to any noncitizen who is attempting to register to vote.
