US EditionHouse to Vote on the SAVE America Act as GOP Makes Election Bill Push
The SAVE America Act mandates proof of citizenship and government-issued photo ID to vote, potentially blocking millions, including women and people of color, from federal elections.
- 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.
- Republican leaders are reviving the SAVE Act, with President Donald Trump urging its passage as part of a renewed push for election integrity.

- 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.
