Jul 10, 2024, 11:18 AM

The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on a Trump-backed bill requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. The legislation, known as the SAVE Act, is backed by Republicans and aims to bolster election integrity by banning non-citizens from voting in federal elections. The bill has garnered support from figures such as Rep. Lauren Boebert, who has publicly stated her intention to vote in favor of the measure. Democrats are being urged to vote against the bill, which is seen as a measure to address a practice that is already illegal. The vote is scheduled for Wednesday.
