US EditionRep. Luna Says if Government Shuts Down, SAVE Act Will Be Needed to Re-Open It
Rep. Luna demands proof of citizenship for federal voter registration as a condition to end potential government shutdown, linking the SAVE Act to must-pass funding bills.
- Rep. Anna Paulina Luna pushed the House to force a vote on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, tying it to government funding talks ahead of a possible shutdown.
- Supporters say the SAVE Act responds to a registration gap since federal voter registration relies on a citizenship box without document proof, which they argue invites mistakes and abuse.
- Under the proposal, the SAVE Act would verify citizenship while leaving state voting rules intact; supporters emphasize it does not disenfranchise lawful voters or federalize elections.

- Amid debate over election integrity, supporters of the SAVE Act say it will restore public confidence in federal elections, while critics argue it amounts to 'voter suppression' and increases skepticism.
