SAVE Act: U.S. Senate Takes on Voter ID Bill

The SAVE America Act would impose strict ID and citizenship proof requirements for voters, potentially affecting millions and allowing private lawsuits against election officials, amid partisan opposition.

  • On Tuesday, March 17, the U.S. Senate debated the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which passed the GOP-led House on Feb. 11 and requires proof of citizenship to register to vote.
  • President Donald Trump has pushed lawmakers to advance the measure, calling it a top priority, while independent investigations found noncitizen voting extremely rare despite supporters framing it as election security.
  • Under the bill, most registration changes would require in-person documentation at elections offices, voters need approved photo ID to cast ballots, and states must submit voter rolls to DHS within 30 days with enforcement penalties.
  • Senate Republicans lack the 60 votes needed to pass the SAVE Act, with Thune saying, 'We don't have the votes either to proceed...' last week.
  • With primaries beginning next month, critics warn the bill would be hard and costly to implement, affecting roughly 69 million American women and about 30% of 2024 voters who used mail-in ballots.
