***IMMEDIATE ACTION*** TELL THE ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION: NO DOCUMENTARY PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP [10-13-25]

On July 16, 2025, America First Legal, a right-wing extremist group founded by Stephen Miller, petitioned the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), tasked with ensuring free and fair elections, to amend the federal voter registration form to require Americans, when registering to vote, to provide a passport or similar documentary proof of citizenship.

Earlier this year, the SAVE Act, containing similar language, died in the Senate thanks to Senate Dems, and Trump’s identical 3-25-25 Executive Order’s been judicially blocked. Now these same extremists are trying to get the EAC to do their bidding.

This requirement could disenfranchise many millions of voters, since 146,000,000 American citizens don’t have passports, 69,000,000 women who’ve married and changed their names could not use their birth certificates to “prove” citizenship, and many others neither copies of their birth certificates nor the time and money to obtain them.

Citizens have until October 20 to get their comments to the EAC. The petition’s supporters have flooded the EAC’s public comment portal, while the rest of us were mostly unaware of its filing. But, that’s about to change.

If we promptly send our comments and convince our friends and neighbors to do likewise, there’s still time to convince the EAC that carrying out its duty to ensure free and fair elections requires it to reject this anti-democratic petition and protect everyone’s right to vote.
