End Citizens United (ECU) President Tiffany Muller released the following statement after Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives passed the SAVE Act, a dangerous bill that will make it harder for millions of Americans to vote:
“Today’s vote is a shameful display of how far Republicans will go to cling to power. The SAVE Act has nothing to do with protecting elections and everything to do with stopping eligible Americans from voting, plain and simple. It’s based on a lie, pushed by conspiracy theorists, and designed to keep certain people––particularly married women, military members, rural voters, Native communities, and low-income Americans––from having a say in their government.
“House Republicans are fully complicit in Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s plan to tear down the country. They’re tanking 401(k)s, driving up the cost of living for working families, and gutting Social Security. They know they can’t win elections on that record, so they’re trying to make it harder to vote. The SAVE Act is central to that strategy.
“The Senate must reject this dangerous, undemocratic, and un-American bill.”
