The leftists have a point. The SAVE Act would make it more difficult for many. I didn’t have a birth certificate in my possession while in college. It cost me $53 to get a birth certificate with my parents’ names on it for a passport in 2016.

The SAVE Act is unlikely to survive a court challenge presented before a leftist judge. And you know Barrett and Roberts will typically vote to help Democrats in essential matters.

Reform should be based on Trump’s postal service executive order (and an act of Congress clearly backing it).

The ballot of or for any person not verified to be a citizen should be treated as a provisional ballot.

The ballot of any person not having presented a valid matching government picture ID in person or by cellphone should be treated as a provisional ballot.

The mail-in ballot of or for any person without a signature match made by (an FEC-certified) electro-optical means should be treated as a provisional ballot.

The mail-in ballot of or for any person without a matching date of birth of the voter should be treated as a provisional ballot.

The mail-in ballot of or for any person that traveled by an unusual postal path (as might be determined by USPS software after a cellphone Intelligent Mail barcode scan) should be treated as a provisional ballot.

Republican candidates who spend months of time campaigning certainly should be entitled to due process.

Did you not have any form of valid identification prior to entering and during college?

I’m not sure the SAVE Act solely hinges on birth certificates, does it? I genuinely do not know however I would find that to be a rather strange benchmark for someone who already has a driver’s license and has had one for a long time.

Otherwise,

I am pretty sure the SAVE Act does not require every citizen to go out and re-prove who they are in order to vote. That would cause riots.

I have the opposite opinion. The SAVE act isn't asking anything more than the move to REAL ID did, and that was allowed by the courts.

If you had the documentation for the REAL ID, then you have the documents for the SAVE Act. One cannot be unconstitutional while the other is okay.
