The #SAVEAct Could Keep Millions of #Transgender Americans From #Voting
Should this legislation pass, it would further discrimination against transgender people and could keep millions of voters out of the voting booth.
Caleb Smith, Gréta Bedekovics

"Legislation recently reintroduced in the U.S. House of Representatives could make registering to vote significantly more difficult for transgender Americans—threatening millions of voters’ right to engage in the democratic process. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship status, in person, when registering to vote or updating their voter registration information. Voters would also need to provide these documents every time they updated their registration information. The vast majority of Americans would be forced to present either a passport or their birth certificate to their election official in order to register to vote—documents that, even if transgender people possess them, may not reflect the name they use."

This Bill in the Senate Could Disenfranchise Millions of #WomenVoters
Trump has renewed pressure for the Senate to pass the #SAVEAct, which requires #ProofOfCitizenship to vote. For the 69 million women who have changed their last name this would create a barrier to voting.

"Wherever you stand on the political spectrum, the strongest way to make your voice heard is at the voting booth. Yet amid all the turmoil and horror playing out in the streets across the country right now, there’s a quieter, just as insidious plan that could disenfranchise millions of Americans (particularly women) come the November midterm elections.
"The misleadingly named Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (#SAVE) Act, is a republican-sponsored bill that passed in congress in April 2025. It’s sat in the Republican-majority Senate for months but Trump is now putting new pressure to pass it. If it does pass, it could silence millions of voters by creating new barriers to voter registration by requiring in-person proof of citizenship (a birth certificate or passport) that matches the voter’s legal name. Since around 84% of American women who marry take their husband’s last name or hyphenate their surname, this means that an estimated 69 million women may have a legal name that doesn’t match their birth certificate.
"Given that less than half of Americans even have a passport, and about 4 million adult U.S. citizens do not have access to their birth certificate (or other documentary proof of citizenship), that means 21 million Americans could be turned away at the polls. Just as chilling: Given SAVE’s proposed requirement that these documents be presented in person, the bill poses a serious threat to online, mail-in and automatic voter registration, options used by millions of Americans.
"Legal experts also worry that inconsistencies and ambiguities in the bill will lead to uneven enforcement across the country. 'Will marriage certificates be accepted equally across all jurisdictions? We don’t know, because some marriage certificates have different types of information on them, depending on the jurisdiction,' Keesha Middlemass, a political science professor at Howard University told NPR. “'The disenfranchisement — we won't know about it until after the fact.'
"The prospect of such a drastic change to #VoterRegistration coincides with President Trump’s push to suppress voters. Last month, the president repeatedly posted on social media to 'DEMAND VOTER I.D.,' urging action on the bill and reiterating his debunked lies about the outcome of the 2020 election. Elon Musk echoed those calls on X, where “Pass the SAVE Act,” trended last week. Also last week, the #RightWing #TeaPartyPatriots Action group put out a call to its members to pressure the 17 Republican Senators who have not yet cosponsored the SAVE Act. This week Semafor reported that Trump had convinced the few Senate Republican holdouts to vote to pass the #VoterID bill.
"If the act does pass, the stakes are high. 'We've had very close elections in the last three cycles, so if you reduce potential voters by 1 or 2% that could change the outcome of the election,' Middlemass said.
"What can you do now to keep the right to vote free and fair for all? If your legal name doesn’t match your birth certificate or passport, you’ll need to request certified name change documentation like a marriage certificate or divorce decree and check with your state’s security of state that both your voter registration and proof of citizenship are up to date. The U.S. government site, for now, urges those who have changed their name to update their voter registration online or by mail.
"While hope remains that the bill won’t pass through the Senate, if it does, voters will need to get their ducks in a row in advance of election day, since processing these documents can take up to 12 weeks, or longer if states have a backlog of requests. In the meantime, you can sign the League of Women Voters petition to senators not to pass the SAVE Act, or call your senator directly."

U.S. Citizens:
Do you rely on registering to vote online? Do you have to vote by mail for any reason? Do you have no access to your original birth certificate or a U.S. passport?
If that’s you, you need to call your state senators TODAY and tell them to say NO to the SAVE Act which is on the verge of passing in the Senate.
The U.S. Capitol Switchboard:
(202) 224-3121
The SAVE Act will:
*eliminate online voter registration
*eliminate mail-in ballots
*make people who changed their names after marriage have to provide additional proof like original birth certificates just to vote (“Papers, please.”)
*make millions of U.S. citizens abroad (including me) lose our right to vote by requiring an in-person presentation of ID. We will have taxation without representation.
*will lengthen voting lines by hours and hours as it forces people to verify themselves with *additional* forms of ID like original birth certificates or passports. Regular drivers’ licenses will no longer suffice.

The SAVE Act would force voters to show original citizenship documents matching their CURRENT name. Many people lack originals, and married women who changed names often don’t have updated birth certificates

The SAVE act has been passed by Congress but has yet to be introduced on the senate floor. There are 278 days until election day. The SAVE act will be something that the GOP deploys between now and November 3rd. Voter disenfranchisement is a multi-pronged attack.
281 days until the midterms
They SAVE Act has been passed by the house but not taking up by the Senate.
If you don't know what the SAVE Act is, you should "act" fast !
Contact your senators now while you're contacting them re: #abolishice
American Women: The SAVE ACT should terrify you. Especially if passed right before midterms. The House already passed it. Put the fear of God into your republican senators now or lose your right to vote. And we'll all be living in maga's America forever.
The House passed the SAVE Act last year, and it's been in the Senate, waiting for action on it.
In case you don't recall, this is the bill that insists that voters' names must match their names on their birth certificates, potentially disenfranchising every woman who changed her name at marriage.
Read up on it. Contact your Senators. Because they could choose to pass this right before the midterms.

USians, please read and boost. The “SAVE Act” is still on the table and will disenfranchise millions of women if the Senate passes it, likely before the midterms. Years ago I would have said this was just paranoia, but not now, given the absolute CRAZY we see in the news every day. Get your documents and proofs of name change ready so they can’t take away your vote.
dass ihre Namen nicht mit ihren Geburtsurkunden übereinstimmen, während die Frist zur Behebung des Problems bereits abgelaufen ist.“
„Dieses Szenario wird für Millionen amerikanischer Frauen Realität, wenn die Republikaner in den letzten Wochen vor den Zwischenwahlspielen 2026 den Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act einsetzen.“

Official Says 11 States Open to Stopping Residents From Voting at DOJ’s Request
The DOJ’s effort “should frighten everybody across the political spectrum,” said an election expert.DHS Seeks to Combine State Driver’s License Records With Citizenship Data
Critics warn the DHS database could wrongly flag citizens as noncitizens, risking voter access and trust.
@worldofwomen
The fight for women’s voting rights is not over.
The SAVE Act before the US Congress this week claims to prevent non-citizens from voting (something already illegal and essentially non-existent at just 0.0004% in studies). But its real purpose appears far more sinister: to silence legitimate American voters.

The fact that repealing the 19th Amendment (women's right to vote) is even being talked about shows we can't ever relax about any of this shit.
