SAVE Act Gains Momentum As Key Republican Flips Vote

The SAVE America Act may not have passed the Senate last week, but supporters of the election integrity measure are pointing to a late-night vote as evidence that the legislation is far from dead.

The legislation, strongly backed by President Donald Trump, would require proof of U. S. citizenship to register for federal elections and establish voter identification requirements nationwide.

While the measure ultimately failed to clear Senate procedural hurdles, supporters argue the vote revealed something important: the SAVE America Act now appears to have the votes needed to pass the Senate under a simple majority standard.
