“The SAVE Act could disenfranchise more than 20 million American citizens by requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote.”
Where they said it
Verdict
Mixed
2026-03-24Reasoning
FactCheck.org found Schumer overstated the case: the 20 million figure refers to citizens lacking ready access to documents, not the number who would actually be blocked from voting. Experts say "millions could be affected," but the precise number is unknowable, and "disenfranchisement" requires more than added friction.
