The Spin

The Florida SAVE Act is a landmark win for election integrity, requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register and expanding penalties for foreign interference. Eighty-three percent of Americans support voter ID laws, yet federal Democrats keep blocking common-sense protections. Florida is leading the way, proving states don't need Washington's permission to secure elections.

The Florida SAVE Act strips student IDs as valid voter identification and launches a process to purge voters who can't produce citizenship documents — a clear path to disenfranchising eligible Americans. Voting rights groups immediately sued, warning the law targets legitimate voters. This is voter suppression dressed up as reform, and the courts will have to clean up the mess.

Metaculus Prediction

There is a 6.6% chance that the Republican Party will control both the Senate and the House of Representatives following the 2026 midterm elections, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
