House Passes Trump-Backed SAVE America Act, Sparking Controversy Over Voter ID Requirements

The House has passed the SAVE America Act, a contentious bill backed by former President Trump aimed at imposing new voting regulations including strict voter ID requirements and proof of citizenship. While only a single Democratic representative supported this legislation, it sharply divides opinions, with critics warning it could disenfranchise millions of Americans, particularly impacting married women and marginalized groups. GOP members push the narrative of protecting electoral integrity, with leaders like Scalise urging support. However, dissent is growing, including from within the Republican party, as Senators like Lisa Murkowski voice opposition. As the bill moves to the Senate, concerns are raised about its potential effects on voting rights nationwide.
