The Spin

Republican narrative

The SAVE America Act is straightforward common sense that enjoys overwhelming support from Americans who agree that only U.S. citizens should vote. Requiring proof of citizenship to register is no different than needing ID for cold medicine, boarding flights or opening bank accounts — it's basic election integrity that protects legal voters from having their ballots diluted by fraud.

Democratic narrative

The SAVE America Act would disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans by requiring citizenship documents that 21 million citizens lack ready access to and forcing 69 million married women to navigate name-change bureaucracy. This show-your-papers policy would create chaos and serve as a modern-day Jim Crow law, putting up major unconstitutional roadblocks for would-be voters.
