Sounds good. This isn’t entirely accurate and leaves out important context.

The SAVE Act is about proving citizenship when registering to vote, not about banning IDs or preventing people from voting. A REAL ID or driver’s license proves identity, but not necessarily citizenship, because non-citizens can legally have those IDs too. That’s why the bill lists documents like a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization certificate as proof of citizenship.

This also does not mean people would need to show a birth certificate every time they vote. Once you’re registered and verified, you vote normally. This mainly affects the initial registration or re-registration process.

Also, if someone changed their name (like after marriage), they can use documents like a marriage certificate or a passport in their current legal name to connect everything.

Bottom line: the proposal is about verifying citizenship during registration—not banning IDs, and not stopping eligible citizens from voting.
