It not a budget measure.

It’s not going to pass.

It would suppress as many or more republican votes as democrats, since fewer republicans have passports.

This action would not stand in a federal court either.

Republicans are less likely to have passports, and the states with approved driver licenses are mostly blue states.

going to piss people off if the Save Act demands further documentation. Took me two trips (140 miles total) to get mine done.

1. Multiple states have ALREADY passed an equivalent to the SAVE act, OR intend to enact provisions via Board of Elections processes
*These provisions include mandating the state voter lists be purged based on lists sent to them from federal government agencies (USPS, SSA) or from other state agencies — at least monthly or even weekly
*Failing to purge voter rolls would subject bureau of elections employees to penalties or risk, but purging voter rolls in error causes no penalty
2. An executive order of March 31, 2026 requires the post office to provide lists to state agencies of ‘suspected noncitizens’
3. A new proposal requires the post office to stop delivery of absentee ballots to anyone not on a federal approved voter list.
4. The post office wants to require individualized bar codes on the outside of the envelopes — which will make it super convenient to delay or reroute based on bar codes to holding tanks long enough to delay large groups of democratic ballots from delivery until the day after the election.

From Marc Elias’ group Democracy Docket, a judge says it’s too early to block it…give it a little time and we will see it is too late to block it

https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/judge-denies-attempt-to-stop-trumps-mail-voting-order/
A federal judge said it’s too soon to block President Donald Trump’s latest push to restrict mail voting ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Trump signed an executive order in March directing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to work with the Social Security Administration (SSA) to create lists of verified U.S. citizens eligible to vote in each state, which it calls “State Citizenship Lists.” It also instructs the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to send absentee ballots only to voters on approved lists submitted by states, also called “Mail-In and Absentee Participation List. ”

Led by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Democrats quickly sued to block the order.*
