The SAVE Act, aimed at safeguarding federal elections, requires proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration. This includes documents like passports, birth certificates, or REAL ID in person, and a government photo ID at the polls. States must also update records for moves or name changes and regularly check voter lists against federal databases to remove noncitizens. Concerns over noncitizen voting, with estimates of around thirty million noncitizens in the U.S., have led to this legislation. Audits in several states have uncovered thousands of noncitizens on rolls. The bill, backed by President Trump, is stalled in the Senate due to a Democratic filibuster, with passage seen as crucial ahead of midterm elections.
