Trump Pushes 'SAVE America' Voting Bill Ahead of Midterms
The SAVE America Act would mandate citizenship proof and ID for all voters to prevent fraud despite evidence showing minimal illegal voting cases, officials said.
- On Feb. 11 the House passed the SAVE America Act, and President Donald Trump is urging the Senate to approve it.
- The SAVE Act would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship such as a passport or birth certificate and a valid photo ID, with absentee mail ballots requiring a photocopy, and it would force states to review rolls and share data with the federal government.
- Election studies cited by critics include a Department of Homeland Security review finding about 10,000 referrals from 49.5 million registrations, roughly 0.02 percent, and a Brookings Institution review identifying 39 fraud cases among more than 100 million ballots.
- Under Senate rules, the bill faces a 60-vote threshold, but the 53 Republicans lack enough votes, so Republican leaders plan a marathon debate and Senate Majority Leader John Thune said filibuster rules likely stay unchanged.
- Advocates warn that the requirements could burden millions, including elderly voters, low-income Americans, and newly married voters, amid calls for national emergency pressure and over 80% of married women changing names, per the 2023 Pew survey.
