House Democrats Oppose GOP's SAVE Act Requiring Voter Citizenship Proof

The Republican-backed bill aims to amend voter registration laws to mandate proof of citizenship, facing strong resistance from Democratic leaders.

The SAVE Act would amend the National Voter Registration Act to require proof of citizenship for federal elections.
Democrats argue the bill imposes excessive burdens on voters and lacks evidence of widespread fraud.
Republican leaders claim the bill is essential for securing election integrity and preventing noncitizen voting.
House Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Trump have prominently supported the legislation.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk labeled opponents of the bill as 'traitors,' intensifying the debate.
