Lead Paragraph: Paletuatoa Peniamina today issued a forceful condemnation of the SAVE Act, calling it "the most dangerous voter suppression legislation in a generation," and pledged that as President he would sign the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act within his first 100 days in office.

Key Quotes:

"The SAVE Act is a solution in search of a problem. Noncitizen voting is already illegal. There is no evidence of widespread fraud. This bill is designed to do one thing: make it harder for eligible Americans to vote."

"Married women who changed their names. Young people voting for the first time. Naturalized citizens who've been American for decades. Seniors who were born at home. Millions of eligible voters could be disenfranchised by this bill."

"I will sign the John Lewis Voting Rights Act within my first 100 days. We will restore the protections that were gutted in 2013 and make sure that every state has to clear voting changes with the federal government before they can take effect."

Key Policy Points:

John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act: Restores the preclearance formula of the Voting Rights Act.

SAVE Act Opposition: Veto pledge if the bill reaches his desk.

Automatic Voter Registration: Federal mandate for automatic registration.

Election Day as a Federal Holiday: Make voting accessible to working families.

Vote by Mail Expansion: Federal funding to support vote-by-mail systems.
