SAVE act

[IronCodePoke]

I hadn't paid close attention to all the details of this bill. I was focused mostly on the requirements to actually cast a vote during the election. Not the registration process. However, this will do away with online registration and maybe any way to easily register to vote.

The bill says someone seeking to register to vote "shall not be registered to vote in an election for federal office unless the applicant presents documentary proof of United States citizenship in person to the office of the appropriate election official" by the registration deadline.

Fact-checking Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on the effects of the SAVE America Act

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said the SAVE America Act would require in-person voter registration, “something only 5% of Americans do today." The act would require that, but the rate of in-person registrations is higher than Schumer said.

I have moved several times in my adult life. I can't remember the last time I registered to vote in person. Maybe when I was 18 and the internet wasn't really a thing. This whole bill just f'in stinks to high heaven.
