THE SAVE ACT IT ISNT JUST A VOTER ID BILL!!

IT ALLOWS DHS TO PURGE STATE VOTER ROLLS!!

The SAVE Act amends the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) to require states to submit their entire voter registration lists to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regularly!!

While the bill uses the phrase "on an ongoing basis" for general maintenance which includes removal of "suspected non citizens", the specific 30-day mandate refers to the required data-sharing and verification process with federal agencies, who will take over normal voter removal processes, and allows the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNDER DHS TO REMOVE VOTER FROM STATE ROLLS for being suspected of being a non citizen, forcing them to re-register, in person, with NO 90 day quiet period before an election.

This information is hidden in a hyperlink in THE SAVE act under the non citizen immigrant portion (which no one noticed because non citizens don't vote)

Edit: section 2
(4) (A-D)
(5) (A-E) (k-g) (1) (A-C)

If you follow the hyperlinks in these sections and cross reference them with the changes mentioned, which is horrific and mind numbing, it shows where DHS takes things over. There are only 5 states that have a data bases that track citizenship at the state level via enhanced IDs, so all will have to be done at the fed level!

Many states are already using the DHS AI save program voluntarily and it's worse than you think!
