The US House of Representatives passed the SAVE America Act this week. The law would make voters show proof of US citizenship, like a passport or birth certificate, when registering to vote. Voters would also need a valid photo ID to cast ballots. Some states already require photo ID, but this bill adds mandatory citizenship proof. Democrats warn the law could block eligible voters, especially those who changed their names after marriage. Republicans argue that the bill is needed to fight voter fraud. The bill introduces a process for people with name changes to submit extra papers. Election officials registering voters without required documents could face criminal charges. An estimated 21 million Americans lack ready access to citizenship documents, and 2.6 million have no government photo ID. A Pew poll shows 83% of respondents support voter ID laws, including 71% of Democrats and 95% of Republicans. President Donald Trump praised the bill and urged its passage, repeating claims that the 2020 election was stolen, though there is no proof. Republican Congressman Bryan Steil said claims of 'voter suppression' are "false" and said existing laws need stronger enforcement. The bill passed the House on a 218-213 vote, mostly along party lines. However, the Senate faces hurdles. Majority Leader John Thune said there are not enough votes to end the filibuster and pass the bill. Senator Lisa Murkowski said she would not support it, making Senate approval unlikely.
