Jul 6, 2024, 08:02 PM

House Democratic leadership is mobilizing against a Republican bill that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. The bill, known as the SAVE Act, is set to be voted on next week. Axios has reported this development. Democrats argue that the bill is unnecessary and could disenfranchise eligible voters. The opposition from Democrats has sparked a debate about election integrity and the role of non-citizens in U.S. elections. Some Republicans claim that Democrats are trying to allow non-citizens to vote, while Democrats counter that the bill is an attempt to suppress voter turnout.
