Nessel Opposes SAVE Act

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel leads a 12-AG coalition opposing SAVE America Act, arguing it would unlawfully nationalize election administration and disenfranchise millions.
The act would require documentary proof of citizenship and eliminate online and mail registration, disproportionately affecting marginalized groups.
The coalition notes noncitizen voting is rare and such requirements have historically disenfranchised eligible voters.
They urge the Senate to reject the act, defending state sovereignty and voting rights.

Advocates Challenge SAVE Act

The SAVE America Act, promoted by Republicans to protect election integrity, would require documentary proof of citizenship to vote.
Civil rights advocates say the requirement creates barriers that disproportionately affect marginalized voters, including transgender individuals.
Allen Morris of the National LGBTQ Task Force says the legislation rests on unfounded claims of voter fraud.
The bill has moved to the Senate and now requires bipartisan support to advance.
