Vicki Aden argues the SAVE Act brutalizes voter access by forcing in person proof of citizenship for each registration or change, blocks online and mail registrations, and would disenfranchise eligible citizens, urging Senators to vote no. The letter cites Kansas 2013 data showing 31,000 citizens blocked from voting.
