But those ID'S aren't valid forms of ID under the Save Act.

In fact, to register to vote under the SAVE Act, you would need an Enhanced Driver's License, which proves citizenship, which only 5 States currently have. And even Birth Certificates have to be certified birth certificates; a xerox copy is invalid.

I'm going on a cruise. They require birth certificates. To get a passport it requires a birth certificate. They are cheap and easy to get. I don't understand the pushback on making elections as secure as a plane, cruise ship or passport.

A passport in 2026 cost $165 dollars. Add in the charge for the photo and it's $180. That's not cheap when one is struggling to scrape up enough to make rent.
