House approves the SAVE America Act as GOP makes election bill push

The House passed the SAVE America Act, which imposes stricter voter registration and ID requirements, by a vote of 218 to 213 with one Democrat supporting it. This bill mandates proof of citizenship for voter registration and photo IDs for voting, aiming to prevent noncitizen voting. Republicans argue it's a common-sense measure, while Democrats warn it could disenfranchise millions.

Senate Democrats, like Chuck Schumer, view it as "extreme" and unfeasible. Senate Majority Leader John Thune acknowledges discussions on how to proceed with the bill but faces challenges in securing the necessary votes for passage.
