Re: President Trump not signing the housing affordability act

As another follow-up, I asked "Besides women, who would be most affected
and cause the most deterrence to voting under the regime of the SAVE Act?"

Beyond women, the SAVE Act would disproportionately deter voters with
disabilities, rural residents, young voters, Native Americans, and
low-income individuals. These groups face the steepest barriers due to the
legislation's strict in-person documentary proof requirements and the
elimination of mail/online registration.

Young Voters and Students

Young adults, particularly college students, face unique documentation and
mobility challenges under the new regime.

 * Invalid Student IDs: The Act explicitly rejects student IDs, even those
   issued by state universities, as valid proof of identity or citizenship.
 * Document Accessibility: Students living away from home rarely have their
   birth certificates or passports in their dorm rooms.  Obtaining these
   documents often requires traveling back home or navigating complex
   bureaucratic requests from afar.

 * High Mobility: Young people move frequently (for school, jobs, housing).
   Since the SAVE Act may require re-verification of citizenship upon any
   registration update (such as an address change), students would face the
   burdensome in-person requirement multiple times during their early voting
   years.

Low-Income Voters and Communities of Color

The financial cost of compliance and historical document gaps create a
steep economic barrier.

 * Cost of Documents: A U.S. passport costs at least $165, and certified
   birth certificates range from $10 to $50 per state. For the 21.3 million
   Americans who lack these documents, these fees function as a financial
   barrier to entry.
 * Disparate Impact: Low-income individuals and communities of color are
   statistically less likely to possess passports or have immediate access to
   birth certificates due to historical record-keeping disparities (e.g.,
   older African Americans born at home in the South without certificates).
 * Time Poverty: The requirement to take time off work to travel to
   government offices during business hours disproportionately affects hourly
   wage earners who cannot afford lost income, further suppressing turnout in
   these demographics.
