Save Democracy Act The Save Democracy Act (H.R. 322/S. 459), introduced by Representative Jim Banks (R-Ind.) and Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.), would make common-sense, targeted reforms to federal election laws to reduce fraud and restore Americans’ confidence in our election system while respecting states’ sovereignty in the process. The reforms in the legislation are narrowly tailored, and apply only to federal elections. It would enhance federal election integrity by addressing three key areas: (1) Voter Registration; (2) Casting of Ballots; (3) Tabulation of Ballots. It would: Prohibit automatic voter registration for federal elections. Requires voter citizenship verification to register to vote in federal elections. Prohibit states from sending out unrequested absentee ballots for federal elections. Prohibits use of public ballot collection boxes in federal elections. Requires that absentee ballots be received by the close of election day for federal elections. Requires voters to provide proof of I.D. for absentee voting and in-person voting in federal elections, creating equal treatment for all ballots. Requires that ballot counting, once begun, continue until completed—no delays or pauses. Heritage Action is key voting cosponsorship of this bill. See if your representative and senators have co-sponsored. Either thank them for co-sponsoring, or ask them to add their name as a co-sponsor to the bill!
