What the SAVE Act Would Change About Voting—and What It Won't
TL;DR
Trump is pressing Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, arguing for a nationwide standard on elections, but the bill would require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections and in-person citizenship verification for mail-in requests without ending mail voting or changing who counts ballots. Supporters call it common-sense election security, while critics warn it could burden eligible voters. The House has advanced earlier versions, but Senate prospects are unclear amid broader funding talks.
