ICYMI: Senate Takes Up SAVE America Act as Experts Warn of Increased Voter Purges and Database Errors

Pamela,

The U.S. Senate is discussing the SAVE America Act today. This legislation would kick hundreds of thousands of eligible Americans off the voter rolls using the Department of Homeland Security's SAVE database, known to have a history of data mismatches and incomplete records.

If passed, this bill represents a major shift in how voter registration systems operate nationwide, likely triggering more aggressive voter roll maintenance, increasing the risk that eligible Americans are removed from the rolls, and raising concerns about how voter data shared with DHS could be used in immigration enforcement actions or wrongful prosecution. 

In close elections, even a few thousand wrongful removals can change the outcome. Trump knows that. 

"The SAVE America Act is really the Voter Elimination Act. It forces states to run their voter rolls through a DHS database that has been shown to mark citizens as non-citizens. This could create a system where flawed data and restrictive new documentation requirements lead to Americans being blocked from voting which is why Trump is so adamant that the Senate act. He wants to pick and choose who gets to vote. This Voter Elimination Act is a nationwide purge machine and voter suppression on steroids." —Lauren Groh-Wargo, CEO of Fair Fight Action

We've been closely monitoring the SAVE America Act, and we will continue to do so as it is taken up in the Senate. Legislation like this — the kind that aims to make it harder, not easier, to vote — must be tracked closely. Fair Fight Action's research team is examining every detail about this legislation and reading every word of this bill— and we promise to keep you updated. 

If you can, please consider supporting the Fair Fight Action research team with a donation today. One of the core tenets of our mission is to track and expose any effort to limit access to voting — and the SAVE America Act is definitely an attempt to do just that. 

In solidarity,

The Fair Fight Action Team
