Ranking Member Morelle Sounds Alarm on Passage of Dangerous SAVE Act

WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Joe Morelle (NY-25), the top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, issued the following statement after passage of House Republicans’ so-called “SAVE” Act, a bill that would end voter registration as we know it for millions of eligible American citizens:

“My Republican colleagues crafted and passed one of the most damaging voter suppression bills in modern history. There’s no doubt that women, military members, and people of color will be disproportionately impacted. The fight to stop this bill – to protect Americans’ sacred right to vote – is not over. I will do everything in my power to ensure every eligible American has access to the ballot box.”
