The SAVE ACT is voter supression
There is no other way to describe it. It is a right wing attempt to keep eligible citizens from exercising a constitutional right that poses a threat to their authoritarian agenda.
Requieing citizens to prove their status should be a no-brainer using a system the majority of states already have at their disposal. It's called EVVE.
https://www.naphsis.org/evve/ provides a system to query Secure Identity Verification from the Official Source Only Texas and New York do NOT participate.
Federal and Most states use this service to verify identity including births and deaths.
How It Works
When an agency needs to verify someone’s birth or death information, it submits a request through EVVE. The system securely routes that request to the issuing jurisdiction, checks it against the official vital records database, and returns a simple confirmation or denial within seconds. No PII data is stored in the EVVE system, and all transmissions are encrypted and protected.
By all indications our government ALREADY knows with at least 90% certainty who is a citizen.
The obvious solution is to use EVVE to verify citizens, then automaticlly registere every citizen to vote effective on their 18th birthday. By using such systems to identify eligible citizens and automatically register them, the opening for even a tiny few to self register illegally is effectivly close. Citizens get a verification letter with instructions on declaring a party preference but would remain NPA unless
