Even if the person actual IS a US citizen.

Some 146 million Americans don't have a passport. The SAVE Act would make getting documents to exercise our crucial right to vote would get very complicated.21 Apr 2026 18:18 +0000at://did:plc:ii6xpeb2bzmcsknkmatho7hs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjzlsd3uzo2phttps://bsky.app/profile/lwvhaysco.bsky.social/post/3mjxdeyrjim2nEvery study of the issue shows attempted voter fraud is rare and those who try don't get away with it.
