Senate Republicans Push SAVE Act Requiring Voter ID as Democrats Call It 'Jim Crow 2.0'

Senate Republicans are advancing the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, with Sen. Bill Hagerty citing polling showing broad public support for voter ID requirements, including among Democratic voters. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has vowed to fight the bill, calling it 'Jim Crow 2.0' and arguing it would disenfranchise eligible voters. The legislation is part of a broader policy push by the Trump administration that also includes EPA deregulation.
