House Passes Elections Bill Requiring Proof of Citizenship, Voter ID

The SAVE America Act passed the House on Feb. 11.

Led by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), the legislation would require Americans to prove their citizenship when registering to vote. Under the bill, Americans would also have to furnish photo identification when casting ballots, including mail-in ballots.

Its advancement sets up a potential conflict in the Senate, where Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has opposed changing the filibuster or using the standing filibuster to overcome its 60-vote threshold—a major barrier to passage in the narrowly divided upper chamber.

The SAVE America Act passed the House 218 to 213 in a nearly party-line vote. A lone Democrat, Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), voted in favor of the bill.
