Trump Pushes SAVE America Act as Senate Republicans Face Pressure

President Donald Trump is continuing to pressure Congress to make the SAVE America Act a priority, even suggesting Republicans consider eliminating the Senate filibuster to advance the legislation. The fight over federal election rules continues while Congress is in recess, with Republican hardliners criticizing Senate leadership for not bringing the bill forward. The Center Square's TZ Boudreau reports that the legislation would establish several new requirements for federal elections, including valid identification to vote, proof of citizenship when registering, in-person registration for federal races, and voter-roll checks designed to remove non-citizens. Under the proposal, a driver's license by itself would not necessarily satisfy the citizenship requirement because non-citizens can legally obtain driver's licenses in many states. The legislation has become a major political battle over election security, voter verification, citizenship requirements, voter-roll maintenance, federal election rules, and the administration of taxpayer-funded elections. #Trump #SAVEAct #SAVEAmericaAct #ElectionIntegrity #VoterID #ProofOfCitizenship #VoterRegistration #VoterRolls #Elections #FederalElections #Congress #Senate #Republicans #Politics #TaxpayerDollars #CenterSquare
