U.S. House Passes Controversial Bill Requiring Proof of Citizenship for Voting

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the SAVE Act, a bill mandating proof of citizenship to register and vote in federal elections. This legislation, which has drawn significant criticism from voting rights advocates, is seen as a potential barrier for millions, particularly targeting marginalized groups, including married women and young voters. Proponents of the bill argue it protects election integrity, while opponents claim it reinforces voter suppression tactics. Four Democrats joined Republicans in this push, heightening tensions within Congress over voting rights. Critics warn that this move may disenfranchise significant populations across the country.
