Senate to Hold Floor Vote on Popular House-Passed Voter ID Bill

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Monday that the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, known as the SAVE Act, will receive a floor vote in the coming weeks, marking a major step in Republicans’ push to establish proof-of-citizenship requirements for federal elections.

Acceptable forms include a passport, birth certificate, naturalization certificate or other government-issued documents verifying citizenship.
