House Passes SAVE Act Requiring Proof of Citizenship to Vote

from AURN News · host Jamie Jackson, Clay Cane, Ebony McMorris

The House has passed the Republican-backed SAVE Act, a bill that would require Americans to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. The measure passed 218-213 and now heads to the Senate, where it faces an uncertain path. Supporters say the bill strengthens election security, while critics argue it could disproportionately impact millions of eligible voters who lack ready access to citizenship documents.
