How federal efforts to oversee elections may weaken trust in voting

Congress is back from spring break this week and the U.S. Senate is expected to debate the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act or SAVE Act. The legislation, which already passed the U.S. House, would set new federal standards for voting, including a new requirement that voters have "documentary proof of citizenship" in order to vote. The bill also requires states to hand over voter data to the Department of Homeland Security. Democrats are firmly opposed. This SAVE Act is just the latest effort by President Trump to assert more control over elections, as he continuously claims falsely that the 2020 election was stolen from him.Joining Minnesota Now to explain the bill and where it stands is University of Minnesota political scientist Larry Jacobs.
