US EditionHouse passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate
The SAVE America Act mandates proof of citizenship and photo ID for federal voting, despite concerns it may disenfranchise millions without required documents, according to critics.
- Passing the chamber, the bill now moves to the Senate, after the House approved the SAVE America Act on Wednesday. Supporters say it aims to improve election security.
- Supporters say the bill is necessary to ensure only those legally in the U.S. vote, citing 70% voter support in an October poll.
- There are so many things in our world where you need to provide identification. Perry said, 'There are so many things in our world where you need to provide identification. One of the most important things in a society that decides its differences by vote is to make sure that the people that are voting are the ones that should be voting.' The bill bars registration with only a driver's license and requires birth certificates or U.S. passports and in-person verification for some mail-ballot applicants.
- With strong opposition from Democrats, the measure's future in the U.S. Senate remains uncertain because of the filibuster unless GOP leadership in the Senate change rules.
- County election boards said the new verification steps would strain tight timelines and resources as elections arrive SOON, according to Pennsylvania officials.
