Appreciate the urgency! 🤝 The collateral damage to married women, troops, students, native, transgender, and rural voters is going to be massive unless we stop it. Let's keep the pressure on—everyone can hit the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to tell their Senators #NoOnSave!

The SAVE Act Would Force Many Rural Americans To Drive Hours To Register To Vote Under the SAVE Act, many rural Americans would be forced to drive hours and cross hundreds of miles to show documentation of citizenship, in person, in order to register to vote. Some would be forced ...

I hear your frustration! 💯 The wildest part about the SAVE Act, though, is how much it hurts conservative voters too, along with married women, etc. Focusing on the receipts—like the impact on rural and military voters—is exactly how we break through the echo chambers and stop this thing. #NoOnSave

🎯Excellent acronym! It doesn't stop everyone, but it stops millions of married women missing 📄 trails (unless they 🖊️ affidavits), trans voters, students, troops, & rural/Native voters. They call it "security," but it's a surgical purge of citizens with collateral damage that hurts some in their base

💯! Trump's own $600k research proved this false. They found with "high confidence" only 9 dead voters in Fulton & 23 statewide. That tiny # isn't fraud—it's simply voters passing away after mailing their absentee ballots. We can't use debunked 🤥 to crash local elections!

A graphic titled "HOW TO EMAIL YOUR SENATOR (THE PAPER TRAIL)." It notes that personalized emails are 88 percent more effective than copy-pasted form letters. It provides a template instructing the user to make the subject line "Constituent Urging a NO Vote on S. 1383," state their address, insert one or two specific facts from the thread's receipts, state that the bill is an unfunded mandate that will crash local election systems, and request a written response outlining the Senator's official position.

9/ THE EXTRA STEP: ☎️ calls create urgency, but ✉️ create a 📄 trail. If you want to take the extra step, email your Senator's office using template below. Pick your favorite receipt from this thread (or drop in your own research) to personalize it! Find your Senator ℹ️👇

A four-quadrant graphic titled "HOW TO STOP S. 1383 (CHOOSE YOUR PHONE/VOICEMAIL SCRIPT)." It instructs users to call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121, provide their zip code, and read one of four short scripts. Option A focuses on States' Rights and the DOGE data breach. Option B focuses on the military ID bans and rural poll tax. Option C focuses on the local government administrative collapse. Option D focuses on the disenfranchisement of married women.

8/ THE SOLUTION: We have days to stop this unfunded federal overreach to prevent election collapse and stop mass disenfranchisement.

Call the Capitol Switchboard: ☎️ (202) 224-3121 Ask for your Senator's office, and choose a script below to urge them to Vote #NoOnSave 🗳️

A two-part graphic titled "Illegal Mass Purges Using Error-Prone DHS 'SAVE' System." The left side features a Texas Tribune article highlighting that the SAVE database gave Denton County, Texas an error rate of at least 14 percent when identifying potential noncitizens. The right side shows a Brennan Center article highlighting that the legislation would mandate voter roll purges every 30 days, ending the 90-day quiet period that protects voters from being mistakenly thrown off the rolls right before Election Day.

7/ THE RECEIPTS: S. 1383 "SAVE America Act" mandates voter roll purges every 30 days using a federal database with a known 14% error rate. This explicitly violates the federal 90-day quiet period designed to prevent eligible voters from being illegally scrubbed right before Election Day. #NoOnSave

A two-part graphic titled "A Logistical Collapse." The left side shows a Brennan Center article highlighting that 21.3 million Americans do not have proof of citizenship readily available, and at least 3.8 million do not have these documents at all. The right side shows an Institute for Responsive Government brief highlighting that the SAVE Act permits private citizens to sue election officials who they believe aren't sufficiently complying with the law, encouraging frivolous lawsuits and vigilante-ism.

6/ THE RECEIPTS: 25M+ Americans lack readily available citizenship 📄, & 3.8M don't have them at all. Forcing local vital records offices to suddenly process millions of new requests w/ zero federal funding guarantees nationwide administrative collapse. Frivolous lawsuits would be expensive #NoOnSave

A two-part graphic titled "The Trap For Married Women." The left side shows a FactCheck.org article stating that an estimated 69 million women have changed their name at marriage and their current legal name would not match their birth certificate. The right side shows an Institute for Responsive Government report stating that 1 in 3 married American women lack proof of citizenship documents with their current legal name.

A graphic titled "Marriage Licenses are Not Listed as Documentary Proof of U.S. Citizenship and No Direction for Transgender Voters with Name Changes to Verify Citizenship." It displays pages of the S. 1383 legislative text outlining acceptable documentary proof of United States citizenship. The highlighted text shows that a final adoption decree is explicitly listed as an acceptable document to show a name and U.S. birthplace, but marriage certificates are completely absent from the list.

5/ THE RECEIPTS: 69 M married women don't have birth certificates matching their legal names. 1 in 3 lack marriage license(s) that aren't specified for verification, forcing them to pay💲for 📄 that take weeks to get or go through complex, intimidating affidavit process just to cast a ballot #NoOnSave

4/ THE RECEIPTS: S. 1383 functionally kills remote registration by forcing voters to present required citizenship documents IN PERSON to an election official. A Center for American Progress study found some rural voters will now be forced to drive up to 4.5 hours (260 miles) round-trip #NoOnSave

A three-part graphic titled "TARGETING TROOPS, STUDENTS, NATIVE, & TRANSGENDER VOTERS." The top left highlights S. 1383 bill text showing an official U.S. military ID requires an accompanying military record of service to prove a U.S. birthplace. The top right highlights bill text requiring Tribal IDs to have an expiration date and outlining a strict list of allowed IDs that excludes university student IDs. The bottom shows a Center for American Progress article explaining that the SAVE Act would be particularly difficult for transgender voters because they face barriers to updating passports and birth certificates.

3/ THE RECEIPTS: Text of S. 1383 explicitly outlaws using State University Student IDs, rejects standard Tribal IDs, & declares an official U.S. Military ID is not enough to vote without hunting down extra physical service records. It also makes it hard for transgender individuals to vote #NoOnSave

The bottom right shows a Democracy Docket article highlighting a court filing where the Social Security Administration admitted DOGE staffers engaged in unauthorized communications tied to election denial efforts.

2/ THE RECEIPTS: "SAVE America Act" forces states to hand over voter data to administration's "DOGE" database—same team whistleblowers confirm already leaked Social Security data to partisan groups trying to overturn elections. Trump admin admitted illegal transfer to group in court filing #NoOnSave
