US EditionHouse Republicans propose stricter voting requirements as Trump administration eyes the midterms
The Make Elections Great Again Act includes photo ID and citizenship verification requirements, bans universal mail-in voting, and mandates auditable paper ballots, aiming to set federal voting standards.
- On Thursday, Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., chairman of the House Administration Committee, unveiled the Make Elections Great Again Act, a sweeping federal proposal setting new election standards.
- Following months of Republican focus on election rules, the bill follows a GOP push led by President Donald Trump and Republican-aligned groups, while sponsors say it boosts integrity amid incidents like the Fulton County election office raid.
- The bill requires that voters show a physical photo ID and submit citizenship proof, create a centralized interactive statewide voter registration list verified every 30 days, and expands enforcement by authorizing the U.S. attorney general and private citizens to sue.
- Experts and rights groups warn the changes could force states to overhaul systems and risk disenfranchisement, as state election officials would face new registration rules and the bill needs 60 votes in the U.S. Senate.
- The legislation borrows President Trump's branding and advances a long-standing GOP agenda, with the Make Elections Great Again Act echoing his slogan and going far beyond last year's SAVE Act, observers say.
