Restricting more and more people’s access to vote has been the top strategy for far-right conservatives for over 60 years. Their strategies include:
- Restrictive voter ID laws
- Eliminating the option to vote by mail (in some places, for some voters)
- Making it illegal to give water or granola bars to voters waiting in line to vote
- Trying to get a judge to throw out certain ballots
- and more
In the 1960s, the most powerful Repubs in the US figured out that their policies were so unpopular, they would never again win a national election (i.e. the presidency). So what’s an unpopular but ultrarich minority to do? Change their policy preferences? No way. Instead, they started to cheat us all by changing election rules (also called voter suppression tactics).
So please call your two US Senators today! Tell them you know that the SAVE Act is intended to restrict who can vote, and that’s super unAmerican. Tell them you expect them to vote against the SAVE Act.
