GOP Plans Push for Voter ID and Citizenship Proof Laws in Unified Government

Republicans aim to advance the ACE and SAVE Acts under President-elect Trump, sparking debates on voting access and election integrity.

The incoming Republican-controlled Congress and White House are prioritizing the American Confidence in Elections (ACE) Act and the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.
The ACE Act proposes comprehensive election reforms, including voter ID requirements, while the SAVE Act mandates proof of citizenship to register for federal elections.
Republicans argue these measures will bolster election integrity and public trust, citing concerns over noncitizen voting despite its rarity.
Democrats criticize the bills as restrictive, claiming they could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters, particularly those lacking access to citizenship documents.
Despite GOP control, the narrow majorities in Congress and potential Democratic opposition pose challenges to passing the legislation.
