1. The SAVE act will knock out at least 50% of voters

Women, gays, poor people, anyone who lacks the funds, internet access and stable housing to assemble the documents needed to prove American birth and document name changes over a lifespan. The Republicans are afraid it will disenfranchise their voters as well as Democratic voter and have been refusing to pass it for months. There’s also a lot riding on the Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship. If you can, get a passport card. I don’t know of any other way to put a stumbling block in the way, besides supporting the ACLU, etc.
Suggestions welcome!
