Lead Paragraph:
President Paletuatoa Peniamina today issued a forceful condemnation of the SAVE Act, calling it "the most dangerous voter suppression legislation in a generation" and pledging to veto it if it reaches his desk.

Key Quotes:

• "The SAVE Act is voter suppression, plain and simple. It would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote. Married women who changed their names. Young people with student IDs. Seniors who were born at home. Naturalized citizens who've been American for decades."

• "That's not election integrity. That's a poll tax. That's Jim Crow in a new suit."

• "I signed the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. I restored the protections that were gutted in 2013. And I will not let them take us backward."

• "Voting is a right, not a privilege. And I will defend it with everything I have."
