AG Ellison led a coalition of 18 attorneys general in sending a letter to congressional leadership in opposition to H.R. 22, the so-called Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. Attorney General Ellison and the coalition argue that the proposed legislation would create unnecessary and burdensome proof of citizenship requirements that would effectively disenfranchise millions of eligible voters across the country.

“The so-called SAVE Act is far worse than a solution in search of a problem: it would do the opposite of safeguarding voter eligibility and would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters in Minnesota and every single state. People across America are waking up to the fact that billionaires are currently running our country into the ground and they’re getting mad as hell about it, so the billionaires have come up with a plan to keep them from voting them out and Republicans in Congress are carrying the billionaires’ water yet again. I can’t say any of it surprises me, but I won’t stand for any of it.” – AG Ellison
