US Midterms: The SAVE Act

Republican narrative

Requiring proof of citizenship and voter ID addresses a system that largely relies on self-attestation rather than verification, leaving gaps where noncitizens can easily register undetected. With millions of noncitizens in the U.S. and limited auditing, the absence of evidence reflects weak enforcement, not certainty. Not only is voter ID common across the world, but IDs are already required in the U.S. for everything else, from government welfare to buying alcohol and boarding a plane, making this act common sense move to fix a glaring problem.
