"Massachusetts politicians offered a blistering rebuttal after the SAVE America Act cleared the U.S. House of Representatives Wednesday, warning that the strict voter ID bill could disenfranchise millions ahead of the midterm elections. Under the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or SAVE America Act, U.S. voters would need to furnish proof of citizenship - such as an American passport or birth certificate - to register to vote in federal elections."
""Republicans know their ideas are unpopular. They see the writing on the wall this November," U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern recently warned. "And instead of trying to win fair and square ... they want to cheat. They're hoping that this bill will pass and will make it so hard to vote that many American citizens will just give up." So, what does the SAVE act actually mean for voters? Here's what to know."
The SAVE America Act would require proof of citizenship—such as a U.S. passport or birth certificate—to register for federal elections and would require photo identification to cast ballots. Proponents argue the measures prevent voter fraud and protect election integrity. Opponents warn the requirements would function as voter suppression and could disenfranchise millions, especially ahead of the 2026 elections. Massachusetts politicians issued a blistering rebuttal after the bill passed the House. The legislation is part of a broader push that includes calls to nationalize voting and legal actions related to the 2020 election and state voter registration practices.
