18. Thank you for this great thread!

Does anyone know, if the Senate were to pass the SAVE act in the next few months, would the midterms be affected?

Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act (H.R. 22 / S. 128 in the 119th Congress, 2025-2026)

Quick summary

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act would require all American citizens registering to vote or updating their registration information to present documentary proof of citizenship in person. For the vast majority of Americans, this would be a passport or birth certificate.

Government-issued driver’s licenses—including REAL IDs—as well as military or tribal IDs do not satisfy the bill’s requirements.

The legislation would invert the responsibility to verify a person’s eligibility and citizenship status from election officials and the government onto every single American citizen, making citizens convince the government that they’re eligible to exercise their right to vote.

The SAVE Act would change the way all citizens register to vote upon enactment. It would upend online voter registration, make it impossible to mail in a registration application, and eliminate voter registration drives.

Wasn't Real ID a fed program & now it's not good enough?
