US EditionHouse passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate
The House passed the 32-page SAVE America Act 218-213, requiring proof-of-citizenship and photo ID to vote, with only one Democrat supporting the bill.
- On Feb. 11, the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act in a 218-213 vote, sending the bill to the Senate.
- Supporters say the bill addresses election integrity, citing a Pew Research Center poll showing 83% of voters, including 71% of Democrats, back photo ID.
- The legislation would require documentary proof-of-citizenship like an American passport or birth certificate to register, mandate ID copies for absentee ballots and photo ID for in-person voting, and enable federal information-sharing with DHS while imposing criminal penalties on election officials.
- Critics warn the bill could disenfranchise voters, saying independent experts and voting-rights groups caution it could block millions and the Brennan Center notes women may face extra hurdles.
