1/ 🚨 The "SAVE America Act" isn't about election security.

BREAKING: I read the new version of the “Save America Act” (S. 1383) so u don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Point 1 is new. It requires that all 50 states send their voter rolls to the DHS to run thru DHS’s faulty “SAVE” voter purge program. Points 6 & 7 are new too. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE 1/

2/ THE RECEIPTS: "SAVE America Act" forces states to hand over voter data to administration's "DOGE" database—same team whistleblowers confirm already leaked Social Security data to partisan groups trying to overturn elections. Trump admin admitted illegal transfer to group in court filing #NoOnSave

3/ THE RECEIPTS: Text of S. 1383 explicitly outlaws using State University Student IDs, rejects standard Tribal IDs, & declares an official U.S. Military ID is not enough to vote without hunting down extra physical service records. It also makes it hard for transgender individuals to vote #NoOnSave

4/ THE RECEIPTS: S. 1383 functionally kills remote registration by forcing voters to present required citizenship documents IN PERSON to an election official. A Center for American Progress study found some rural voters will now be forced to drive up to 4.5 hours (260 miles) round-trip #NoOnSave

The SAVE Act Would Force Many Rural Americans To Drive Hours To Register To Vote

5/ THE RECEIPTS: 69 M married women don't have birth certificates matching their legal names. 1 in 3 lack marriage license(s) that aren't specified for verification, forcing them to pay💲for 📄 that take weeks to get or go through complex, intimidating affidavit process just to cast a ballot #NoOnSave

6/ THE RECEIPTS: 25M+ Americans lack readily available citizenship 📄, & 3.8M don't have them at all. Forcing local vital records offices to suddenly process millions of new requests w/ zero federal funding guarantees nationwide administrative collapse. Frivolous lawsuits would be expensive #NoOnSave

7/ THE RECEIPTS: S. 1383 "SAVE America Act" mandates voter roll purges every 30 days using a federal database with a known 14% error rate. This explicitly violates the federal 90-day quiet period designed to prevent eligible voters from being illegally scrubbed right before Election Day. #NoOnSave

8/ THE SOLUTION: We have days to stop this unfunded federal overreach to prevent election collapse and stop mass disenfranchisement. Call the Capitol Switchboard: ☎️ (202) 224-3121 Ask for your Senator's office, and choose a script below to urge them to Vote #NoOnSave 🗳️

9/ THE EXTRA STEP: ☎️ calls create urgency, but ✉️ create a 📄 trail. If you want to take the extra step, email your Senator's office using template below. Pick your favorite receipt from this thread (or drop in your own research) to personalize it! Find your Senator ℹ️👇 🔗 senate.gov
