Non-citizen voting in federal elections is already illegal in American elections. The Republicans’ so-called “SAVE” Act masquerades as a solution to this non-existent problem and instead would restrict voting for millions of eligible American citizens and collectively cost them billions.

Ultimately, Americans will have to pay the price, and these communities will suffer the burden: married women, rural communities, military service members and their families, people of color, low-income people, students, Native peoples, and older Americans.

In cases of buildings with Congressional or legislative branch tenants, GSA needs to consult with these tenants and reach appropriate agreements that ensure Members of Congress and legislative branch offices and agencies can fulfill their constitutional and legislative duties safely and securely.”
