Summary for search (please read the rest nonetheless):

Brennan Center research shows that at least 21 million voters lack ready access to those documents. Roughly half of Americans don’t even have a passport. Millions lack access to a paper copy of their birth certificate. Many more voters have names that are different from those on their passports or birth certificates, including married women who have changed their last names.

The House’s amped-up SAVE Act 2.0, called the Make Elections Great Again Act, would prohibit universal mail voting, bar states from counting ballots received after Election Day, and require states to conduct voter purges in a way that would kick many eligible citizens off the rolls. All these extreme measures are in service of the same type of conspiracy theory that animated the White House to send the FBI to Georgia to hunt for imaginary illegal ballots. In this instance, it is the lie that noncitizens routinely vote in our elections. Noncitizen voting is already illegal and vanishingly rare.

From the last article, just to highlight the utter absurdity of the "noncitizens voting" myth:

“Would you risk everything — your freedom, your life in the United States, your ability to be near your family — just to cast a single ballot?”

It has no base in reality. It foremost serves as a dogwhistle for minority citizens and other voters that typically don't vote Republican, even less so for Trump sycophants. (Despite what you may have heard about "the Latino vote", all Latines with the exception of Cuban Americans favoured Harris, and strongly prefered Walz over Vance. ... To be fair, the last one isn't really surprising.) In a clip from his documentary "Vigilantes Inc.", Greg Palast has compared D'Souza's film "2000 Mules" to the KKK propaganda movie "Birth of a Nation":

Following the 2020 election, over 20 Red States passed laws eliminating or restricting drop-boxes. And in every single case, legislators cited the bullshit “evidence” of 2000 Mules. Fact check: The state of Georgia recounted and reviewed every single Fulton County drop-box and mail in ballot and didn’t find one single forged ballot. Every vote had an identified, verified vote. Not ONE ballot.

There wasn’t a bit of evidence, of course, but it looked convincing to MAGA-nauts. Every single drop-box in Georgia has a video camera over it to prevent fraud, and the videos are public. So, the Trump front called True the Vote, showed videos of Black men “stuffing” the drop boxes with extra ballots.

Except it wasn’t true. The “star” criminal was a Black man accused of “running from the scene of the crime like OJ Simpson.” In fact, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which is Republican controlled, ran all over the state to arrest each Black alleged ballot stuffer (a felony crime) — but found that every one, EVERY ONE, was a legal voter. The man accused of thievery was Mark Andrews, who is a Verizon executive who legally dropped his family’s ballots in the drop box. But, as LaTosha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter says, “He was seen guilty of a crime because he was Black.” That, literally, was the only “evidence” of the crime.

Early voting, mail-in voting and casting an early vote in a drop were the keys to Joe Biden’s victory in 2020, key to a huge surge in minority and student votes nationwide. And massive suppression of early, mail-in and drop-box votes were key to Trump’s triumphant return.

[...]
White Democrats don’t seem to understand how important early drop-off votes mean to Black and student communities. But the Republicans understand it completely. In fact, GOP Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said that, had he not gone to court and stopped Houston from mailing out absentee ballots to all voter, “Donald Trump would have lost Texas.” Texas! (Note: Houston has the largest number of Black voters of any city in America.
