The House on Wednesday approved the SAVE America Act, an election integrity bill backed by President Trump, by a vote of 218–213.
Republicans voted unanimously in favor, while all but one Democrat opposed the measure. Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas was the only Democrat to vote yes.
The 32-page bill requires states to obtain in-person documentary proof of citizenship before registering individuals to vote in federal elections. The updated version also mandates photo identification for in-person voting and adds new requirements for mail-in ballots, including submitting a copy of valid ID when requesting and returning an absentee ballot. The bill now moves to be voted on by the Senate.
