The SAVE Act Explained
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, also known as the SAVE Act, requires people registering to vote in federal elections to provide documentary proof of citizenship.
Requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration in federal elections.
States must verify the citizenship status of registrants.
Provisions for removing non-citizens from voter rolls.
Allows for legal action against election officials who register individuals without verifying their citizenship.
The SAVE Act has passed the House of Representatives but is facing hurdles in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has not taken it up, due to Democratic opposition, which views the Act as unnecessary and potentially ‘disenfranchising voters.’ Democrats are viewing as the act as suppressing votes among eligible citizens who might face difficulties in obtaining or presenting proof of citizenship. They argue that existing laws already prohibit non-citizens from voting in federal elections, and the implementation could be costly and cumbersome for states
The Act's passage without immediate funding for implementation have raised concerns. Politicos point out logistical hurdles including the readiness of states to implement new verification systems and the potential for significant delays or errors in voter registration processes.
The SAVE Act sparks a significant debate in American politics regarding voter eligibility, election integrity, security measures and access to voting. Its fate in the Senate and the political landscape will likely continue to be a focal point for discussions on voting rights and election laws.
Very unfair attempt to deprive the dead and Chinese Zombies from Shanghai of their D votes. They have feelings too.
Isn’t basically every thing you mentioned here(in the bill) ALREADY a law?? how about enforcing what’s already in place??
