Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote.
This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities.

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago.
In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists.
