Senate Majority Leader John Thune announced that an updated Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act will be brought to the Senate floor and amended to require photo identification as well as documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. Thune said the bill, which the House passed in April 2025, is being “fixed” to add a photo‑ID requirement and that he will schedule a vote. Advocates warn the measure could complicate mail‑in voting and voter registration; critics say it would disenfranchise many voters. Passage is uncertain because Senate Democrats can block the bill under the 60‑vote filibuster and Republicans. (democracydocket.com)
