You’ve got the Supreme Court,” Harris said. “They just sealed the deal with this case that just came up recently, the Callais decision, which basically took the power out of the Voting Rights Act, which was designed to protect your right to vote.”
Harris also criticized the SAVE America Act, contending that its citizenship verification requirements would create unnecessary hurdles for prospective voters.
“So you got the Supreme Court doing its thing. Then this president is trying to push this SAVE Act, which basically would require that for people to register to vote,” Harris added. “You’re going to have to have proof of who you are… through a passport, which a lot of Americans don’t have, or a birth certificate. Same point, obstacles to make it difficult for you to register to vote.”
However, the legislation does not restrict acceptable proof of citizenship solely to passports or birth certificates. Under the SAVE America Act, applicants may also use other qualifying forms of documentation, including certain REAL ID-compliant identification cards and eligible military identification.
The bill also directs states to establish procedures for individuals who are unable to provide the specified documents, allowing them to submit alternative evidence of U.S. citizenship for review by election officials before completing the voter registration process.
