What is the SAVE America Act that mandates voter ID?

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

The SAVE America Act, recently passed by the House of Representatives, mandates that Americans provide proof of citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, when registering to vote. It also requires a valid photo identification before casting ballots. Republicans argue the bill is necessary to prevent voter fraud, while Democrats claim it disenfranchises eligible voters. The bill includes provisions for individuals with name changes to verify their identity, but concerns have been raised about the potential impact on married individuals and those lacking readily available citizenship documents. The legislation faces significant challenges in the Senate. Former President Trump supports the bill and encourages its passage.
