Trump-Backed SAVE America Act: GOP Pushes Strict Voter ID, Citizenship Proof Bill
•The 'Safeguard American Voter Eligibility' (SAVE America Act) bill requires proof of US citizenship for new voters and approved ID at polls.
•President Donald Trump claims the bill will 'guarantee the midterms' for Republicans and is pushing for its passage despite Democratic opposition.
•Democrats argue the legislation would disenfranchise millions lacking birth certificates, including potential Republican and Democratic voters.
•The bill mandates in-person document presentation for most, including mail voters, and requires states to share voter data with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
•Trump also seeks to add provisions banning mail-in ballots and unrelated transgender rights issues to the bill.
