“Under the current National Voter Registration Act, individuals attest to their citizenship by checking a box on registration forms. However, the SAVE Act proposes significant changes, requiring prospective voters to furnish documentation proving their citizenship. Accepted forms of proof include a U.S. passport, a photo ID card issued with proof of citizenship, or a combination of a photo ID and supporting documents like a birth certificate.
For those lacking these documents, states would gain access to federal agency databases to verify citizenship status for voter registration purposes, according to the text of the bill. The bill also includes provisions to remove noncitizens from voter rolls and grants discretion to the Department of Homeland Security to deport noncitizens found to have illegally registered to vote.“
Sounds good to me. Most countries require voter ID - why shouldn't we? Who on earth would vote against this?
There already are plenty of checks to ensure that non-citizens don't get to vote.
The nonsense fearmongering that Republicans keep spreading about illegals voting has repeatedly been debunked. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/may/20/mike-johnson/mike-johnsons-false-claim-that-immigrants-paroled/

This flagrant disrespect for voting integrity is entirely inexcusable.
