No matter how Republicans try to spin it, the SAVE Act is voter suppression.

This isn't about election security, Mr. Speaker, it's about election takeover.

President Trump and Republicans know that their policies are deeply unpopular with the

American people.

So what are they doing?

They are trying to rig the elections.

They want to force Americans to produce a passport or a birth certificate just to register

to vote.

They know full well that only about half of Americans have a passport.

They know it costs money.

They know it takes time.

That's the point.

They want to make it harder for many of our neighbors to be able to vote.

Nearly 70 million married women do not have a birth certificate matching their legal name.

This bill is in a direct attack to our right to vote, and Republicans don't want people

like us voting.

It would also increase purges of registered voters who literally are getting kicked off

of these lists who are legally allowed to vote, and we must stop it.
