House Passes Bill Requiring Proof of Citizenship to Vote
The Republican-controlled U.S. House passed the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act on Thursday, with 208 Democrats voting against President Donald Trump’s effort to restrict noncitizen voting.
The SAVE Act, which passed 220-208, now moves to the Senate, where it will need the support of several Democrats to reach the 60-vote barrier for passage. Democrats have rejected the plan, despite polling showing bipartisan support for voter ID laws.
