Something significant is unfolding in the United States Senate—and it deserves sober, clear-eyed attention.
As of today, the Senate has formally taken up debate on the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act), a bill that already passed the House and now faces its most difficult test: the Senate’s procedural gauntlet. At its core, the legislation is straightforward. It requires proof of citizenship to register to vote and government-issued ID to cast a ballot in federal elections. In other words, it seeks to enforce what is already embedded in federal law: that only citizens may vote.
