Greg Landsman, a U.S. Congressman representing Ohio's 1st district, has expressed concerns over the proposed SAVE Act through a series of tweets on February 21, 2025. Landsman replaced Steve Chabot in Congress in 2023 and is known for his active engagement on legislative matters.

In one tweet, "You’re about to hear all kinds of things about a bill called the SAVE Act. Congressional Republicans are using it as a cover to take away voting rights from thousands of Americans—all while claiming it’s about stopping non-citizens from voting." Landsman warns that the bill could potentially restrict voting rights under the guise of preventing non-citizen participation.

Another tweet by Landsman highlights specific implications of the act: "It would require active-duty service members deployed abroad to return home just so they can register to vote." This requirement could pose significant challenges for military personnel stationed overseas.

Additionally, Landsman points out another potential issue with the legislation: "If you’ve changed your name, like when you get married, you could be blocked from voting altogether." Such stipulations might affect individuals who have undergone legal name changes due to marriage or other reasons.
