Objections to the SAVE Act:

1. The bill is unnecessary. Voters in every state are already required to affirm their citizenship status when registering to vote—violators are breaking the law.

 2. Every time a person registers to vote or updates their registration (from a move, marriage, etc), they would need to show a passport or birth certificate in person. Millions of eligible voters do not have easy access to required documents. 

3. The SAVE Act would make it impossible for a voter to mail in a registration application. And it would eliminate the League's ability to conduct voter registration drives. The loss of online or mail-in voter registration would particularly disadvantage elderly, rural and low-income voters.

4. 69 million American women may not have a birth certificate with their legal name on it and would not be able to use their birth certificate to prove citizenship. The SAVE Act does not include proof of name change or marriage certificate as acceptable proof of identity.
