In this episode of The Weekly Congressional Report, we examine H.R. 22, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. This bill seeks to amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 by requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Introduced by Rep. Chip Roy and backed by dozens of co-sponsors, the bill would standardize the types of identification accepted across states—from passports to military records—and impose new requirements on DMV and mail-in registration systems.
Join Brian Barnes along with our AI hosts Avery and Iris as they break down what the bill proposes, why it’s gaining traction, and what it means for the balance between voter access and election integrity. Supporters call it a necessary safeguard; critics argue it’s a solution in search of a problem. Either way, it represents a significant shift in how the federal government may regulate voter eligibility.
We’ll also touch on how the bill interfaces with provisional ballots, exceptions for individuals lacking documents, and the state-federal power dynamic when it comes to voter rolls.
