Red States Implementing Voter ID Workarounds As Trump Scolds Senate

President Donald Trump has expressed frustration with Senate Republicans for not taking the procedural step needed to advance his legislative agenda. Since returning to office, Trump has repeatedly urged Republicans to eliminate the Senate filibuster — the 60-vote threshold that often determines whether legislation can move forward, but to no avail.

The rule has stalled the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a measure backed by Trump and other conservatives that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote, which they view as a key priority ahead of the midterm elections.

But while the legislation is stalled in Congress, several red states have made moves or are making moves to implement their own voter security and integrity measures, including requiring an ID to cast a ballot.
