Dem Rep. Nikema Williams: The SAVE Act ‘Is Yet Another Attempt at Voter Suppression’

EXCERPT:

WILLIAMS: “Mr. Speaker, the SAVE Act is back before the House today, and right along with it is yet another attempt at voter suppression. It is no coincidence that this is happening right before the midterm elections. In January, the FBI raided the Fulton County election office, my home county, where I’m a voter. That raid was a bold attempt to intimidate voters in the fighting fit. The SAVE America Act is just another part of a scheme by House Republicans and the Trump Administration to take over our elections. Atlanta civil rights leaders like my predecessor, the late Congressman John Lewis, faced one of the bloodiest battles he ever faced over our right to vote. The SAVE Act would make it harder for millions of Americans to get registered to vote by requiring in-person registration at elections offices, government offices with government hours, y’all.”
