Part 8/11:
To address these vulnerabilities, legislation like the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) has gained prominence. Backed by Republican lawmakers and supported by former President Trump, this bill aims to revamp voter registration by requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship—such as a birth certificate, passport, or naturalization papers—for all federal elections.
The bill would eliminate the use of simple driver’s licenses, which many states currently accept as sufficient identification, replacing them with more secure, document-based verification. It also mandates routine audits of voter rolls, utilizing federal databases like SAVE to identify and remove non-citizens from voting lists—a necessary step to maintain ballot integrity.
