Vote NO on SAVE America Act

Dear [Your Elected Official],

I am writing as your constituent to urge you to oppose the SAVE America Act.
This bill would create new federal requirements for voter registration and voting in federal elections, including requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register and establishing a new federal voter ID requirement. Since Nebraska does not use the SAVE program, voters could also be required to show proof of citizenship, like a passport or both certificate, just to vote.
Many eligible voters do not have easy access to documents like passports or certified birth certificates. Requiring these documents would create unnecessary barriers for every voter including rural voters, seniors, students, naturalized citizens, and voters who have changed their names. The bill would also add new burdens for voters who rely on vote-by-mail by requiring copies of identification documents to be submitted with ballot requests and returned ballots.
Nebraska’s elections are already secure, fair, and well-administered. This legislation risks making it harder for eligible voters to participate without addressing a widespread problem.
Please stand up for Nebraska voters and vote NO on the SAVE America Act.
Thank you for your time and for representing our state.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your City & State]

Summary

The U.S. Senate will vote soon on the SAVE America Act, a bill that would create new federal requirements for voter registration and voting in federal elections. The SAVE America Act would require voters to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote or update their voter registration. Documents like passports, birth certificates, or naturalization certificates would be required, and many common forms of identification — including driver’s licenses — would not qualify on their own. These changes could completely eliminate online or mail-in voter registration. The bill would also create a new federal voter ID requirement, that is much more restrictive than Nebraska's current voter ID law. Because Nebraska does not currenly use the SAVE Program, voters may also need to show proof of citizenship (e.g. passport, birth certificate, or certificate of citizenship) when voting in person or by mail. For voters who vote by mail, the bill would require copies of identification documents to be submitted with absentee ballot requests and returned ballots, adding new steps for voters who rely on mail voting. These changes would impact every voter, but they will disproportionately impact rural voters, seniors, students, naturalized citizens, married voters whose names have changed, and anyone who does not have easy access to documents like passports or certified birth certificates. They could also create significant administrative burdens for election officials and increase the risk of eligible voters being turned away. Nebraska’s elections are already secure, fair, and accessible. This bill does not address a widespread problem — instead, it creates new barriers that could prevent eligible voters from participating. Your voice matters. Contact Nebraska’s representatives today and urge them to vote NO on the SAVE America Act.
