So, what does she mean when she says electing the right leaders? Tapper asked on Sunday's edition of CNN's State of the Union. That's not really immigration enforcement or DHS responsibility. I don't know, that'd be a question for the secretary, Homan answered. If I had to guess, probably, that, you know, only those legally eligible to vote would vote, but I have not talked to the secretary about those statements. That'd be something she'd have to answer.
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.
Enten reported numbers last week showing that favorability for voter ID requirements is more aligned with the administration than with Democrats today. According to Pew Research Center numbers, support for voter ID requirements has gone from 76% in 2018 to 83% in 2025. Those 2025 numbers also show that more than 70% of Democrats support voter ID laws.
The House on Wednesday passed the Save America Act, which would dramatically change voting regulations by requiring proof of citizenship at voter registration and significantly curtail mail-in voting. The legislation, which passed 218 to 213, faces an uphill battle in the Senate, close observers say. I'm skeptical that the Senate will vote on this bill, because this bill goes farther than the bill they've already sent to the Senate, [which] it hasn't taken up, said Shenna Bellows, Maine's secretary of state and a Democratic candidate for governor.
