Proposed Legislation to Restrict Voting

Based on these false claims, he is urging Congress to pass the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) which would:

• Require voters to present citizenship documents (passport or original birth certificate) in person when registering or updating their registration;
• Restrict mail-in voting, allowing it only in specific circumstances such as illness, disability, military service, or travel;
• Require states to share voter registration data with federal agencies;
• Disenfranchise large numbers of native tribal members who only have a tribal ID.
