The SAVE Act, a legislative measure aimed at ensuring only U.S. citizens can vote in elections, has passed the House of Representatives but is awaiting action in the Senate. The bill, which has garnered significant public support, seeks to address concerns over noncitizen voting and has been linked to broader immigration issues. Proponents argue that the legislation is necessary to maintain the integrity of elections, especially in light of the estimated 10 million illegal immigrants currently in the country. An overwhelming 87% of Americans support requiring proof of citizenship before registering to vote. The House passed the SAVE Act 76 days ago, and there is increasing pressure on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to bring the bill to the Senate floor for a vote.
