SAVE America Act Gains Broad Public Support as Senate Stalls

The SAVE America Act, a federal bill requiring proof of U.S. citizenship and a photo ID to register and vote in federal elections, has stalled in the Senate under Majority Leader John Thune. Multiple polls show overwhelming public backing: a CNN‑conducted poll reported 77% overall support for voter ID, while the Tea Party Patriots Action survey found 82% of likely voters favor restricting voting to citizens and 78% endorse a photo‑ID requirement. Support crosses party lines, with majorities of Democrats, Republicans and Independents in favor. President Donald Trump and grassroots conservatives are urging the Senate to pass the legislation before the upcoming elections.
