Verified Voting Condemns House Passage of SAVE Act, Calls for Real Efforts to Improve Election Integrity

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PHILADELPHIA (April 10, 2025) — The following is a statement from Verified Voting’s president and CEO, Pamela Smith, in response to today’s passage of the SAVE Act by the U.S. House of Representatives.

“The SAVE Act fails our democratic process rather than protecting it. Instead of making it harder for millions of eligible citizens to vote, Congress should focus on efforts that would actually improve election security and integrity—from restoring essential cybersecurity resources stripped away from the Department of Homeland Security to providing much-needed federal funding to support the conduct of elections, including for election officials to put more secure processes in place, like audits of voter-verified paper ballots. We urge the Senate to reject this unfunded mandate and protect Americans’ right to participate in free and fair elections.”
