It’s important for these Democratic senators to hear from their constituents right now. Email your senators and tell them to protect our elections by rejecting the GOP’s voter suppression bill.”

Indivisible GuideTell Your Senator(s) to Vote NO on the Silencing Americans ActRepublicans are once again pushing what we’re calling the “Silencing Americans Act,” a dangerous bill that would create unnecessary obstacles for millions of eligible Americans trying to register to vote. The House passed it last session, but it never made it to the Senate—now they’re bringing it back in an attempt to restrict access to the ballot. The Silencing Americans Act (H.R. 22 and S. 128) would require every voter to show proof of citizenship, like a passport or original birth certificate, when registering to vote in federal elections. That might sound simple, but the reality is that millions of eligible voters don’t have these documents readily available. Because the bill would require showing this proof in person, it would eliminate online and mail-in voter registration. This bill wouldn’t improve election security—it would just make it significantly harder for everyday Americans to vote. It has already passed the House and if it passes the Senate, the Silencing Americans Act would disproportionately impact: Married women who have changed their last names, many of whom don’t have birth certificates matching their legal name Trans and nonbinary people who’ve changed their names to reflect their gender identity Naturalized citizens who could face additional barriers and intimidation Military members, tribal citizens, and working-class Americans, who may not have easy access to these documents And others! We’ve seen the damage of similar laws in states like Kansas and Arizona, where thousands of eligible voters were blocked from registering. Americans without citizenship status are already barred from voting in federal elections, and states have secure systems in place to verify voter eligibility—this bill is unnecessary. Fill out the form with your information (feel free to add an optional additional comment, if you like), and we'll make sure your email is delivered to your senator(s). The email to your senators:

The GOP - via a concerted strategy of national/State voter suppression, including concentrated efforts in swing States targeting POC and now women - have effectively hardwired the results of future Presidential elections heavily in favour of Republican candidates.
Most recently, the absurdly named "Save Act" targets 69 million women (who have changed their name by marriage) and will have to go to extensive lengths to prove their original birth name in order to vote. #VoterSuppression #USpol

Postal services in some areas of the USA are unreliable, so it makes sense to have a grace period when it comes to returning election ballots — at least, that’s been the case for a number of years in around half of the states across the political spectrum. @bolts reports on how that’s changing. “This past March alone brought news that two states … will repeal their grace periods; that conservative federal judges are on the brink of killing grace periods in two other states; and that Trump, who for years has falsely alleged rampant mail-voting fraud, wants to pressure the rest of the nation to reject every mail ballot that arrives after polls close,” writes Alex Burness.

From Democracy Docket newsletter:

In a 220-208 vote, the House of Reps voted Thursday [04/10] to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, “a major voter suppression measure that…could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters” if it next passes in the Senate, where it would “need 60 votes to overcome the expected Democratic filibuster.”
