The SAVE Act. Why It Is Important.
The stated purpose of the bill is to prohibit noncitizens from voting. It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote. The SAVE Act requires more specific documents to vote—beyond the current voter ID. A birth certificate with the voter’s current name on it, a passport (costs over $150) or naturalization papers will be acceptable. The documents need to be shown in person to register to vote or to update a change in address for voting.
It is possible to use a Real ID only in Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont and Washington. Those Real IDs have verified whether a person is a U.S. citizen and are called enhanced driver’s licenses.
These new requirement affects millions of married women who have traditionally changed their names to their husband’s after marriage. Their birth certificates no longer show their current name. This bill burdens the military voters, tribal voters, rural voters and any survivors of natural disasters should their documents have been lost. This bill also removes online voting registration and online registration updates.
