Senate Democrats blocked the passage of the SAVE Act, a bill crucial for enhancing the integrity of federal elections by mandating proof of citizenship.
This decision comes just a day after the House successfully passed the bill with a vote of 221-198, mainly along party lines, with nearly every Democrat opposing the measure.
The SAVE Act aims to amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to enforce stricter voter registration requirements. Under the proposed legislation, voters would need to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections—a shift from the current law, which permits states to demand citizenship proof only for local and state elections.
Sen. Mike Lee congratulated Rep. Chip Roy on the bill’s success, stating that it was now time for the Senate to act. “Federal elections are only for U.S. citizens,” Lee declared.
However, the legislation faced opposition when brought to the Senate floor. Despite Lee’s efforts to push for immediate passage, Senate Democrats objected to the bill.
This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as new information becomes available.
