US EditionHouse to Vote on the SAVE America Act as GOP Makes Election Bill Push
The SAVE America Act aims to enforce proof of citizenship and photo ID for federal voting, but could disenfranchise over 21 million Americans, critics warn.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. House is expected to vote on the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register and a photo ID to vote.

- The effort unfolds as federal requests for voter data faced state resistance and public polling shows broad support for photo ID, while the bill is expected to stall in the U.S. Senate needing at least seven Democratic votes.
