Pass the SAVE America Act

Trump pushes House Republicans to unify behind SAVE America Act in budget reconciliation fight

President Trump is pressing House Republicans to back a budget resolution that would advance voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements through reconciliation, but a handful of fiscal hawks in his own party may have enough votes to sink it.

Trump took to Truth Social this week to demand unity from House Republicans ahead of a planned vote on a budget framework that would fold key elements of the SAVE America Act into a broader spending package.

The resolution, spearheaded by Speaker Mike Johnson, would bypass the Senate's 60-vote filibuster threshold by using the budget reconciliation process, which requires only a simple majority in both chambers.

The maneuver is necessary because the SAVE America Act, which passed the House but stalled in the Senate, cannot clear regular order without at least some Democratic support, support that has not materialized.

Republicans are "willing to invest heavily" in election integrity through the reconciliation vehicle, calling the forthcoming package "Reconciliation 3.0." The House Budget Committee approved the roughly $95 billion framework on a party-line vote, with Democrats uniformly opposed.

The framework includes $10 billion specifically earmarked for election administration and voter ID implementation, said Mike Johnson.

Proof of Citizenship and Purging Voter Rolls

Department of Justice warns election officials that they could be criminally charged over noncitizen voters

"The Department of Justice has dispatched letters to election officials in several states, warning that knowingly keeping noncitizens on the voter rolls could expose them to criminal liability. The states receiving these letters span party lines, indicating the effort is not confined to one partisan target but reflects a wider federal push.

Election officials and outside experts who examined the letters told Votebeat they appear to function more as intimidation than as the groundwork for actual criminal cases.

The messaging leans on the threat of prosecution rather than presenting evidence of widespread wrongdoing, and multiple studies over the years have consistently found that noncitizen voting is exceptionally rare because it is already a serious federal crime carrying penalties including deportation.

The concern raised by voting rights advocates is that pressure of this kind pushes local administrators toward aggressive list maintenance to avoid personal legal exposure.

Overly broad purges have historically swept up naturalized citizens and other eligible voters, forcing them to prove their eligibility or lose access to the ballot. Nonpartisan election workers, already facing staffing shortages and heightened threats in recent years, now face an additional layer of federal pressure as they prepare to run upcoming elections."

Florida

Starting January 1, 2027, Florida requires officials to verify whether a prospective voter provided proof of citizenship when applying for a driver’s license or state ID card. If not, the person must provide proof of citizenship to be registered to vote. This also applies to individuals who are updating their registration with a change of name, address, or party affiliation.

Documents acceptable as proof of citizenship include:

(a) An original or certified copy of a United States birth certificate.
(b) A valid, unexpired United States passport.
(c) A naturalization certificate issued by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
(d) A Consular Report of Birth Abroad provided by the United States Department of State.
(e) A current and valid Florida driver's license or Florida identification card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, if such license or identification card indicates United States citizenship.
(f) A current and valid photo identification issued by the Federal Government or the state which indicates United States citizenship.

Spanberger Says She Wants New Rules For Polling Places

Spanberger’s decision to bar ICE from polling stations draws scrutiny

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger says she will sign an executive order meant to guide election workers if federal agents show up near polling places.

According to reporting on her remarks, the order is supposed to explain how state employees and people helping run Virginia elections should react if federal agents appear where voters are casting ballots.

That may sound calm on paper, but in plain English it means the governor now wants a rulebook for a situation Democrats keep telling us should not be happening in the first place.

The ICE Question Is Hard To Ignore. The odd part is simple. Democrats have spent years insisting that illegal aliens are not voting because federal law forbids it.

So if that is true, why the dramatic rush to keep ICE away from polling places? That is the kind of question that practically answers itself. If there is nothing to see, then why the panic?

The whole thing makes it look like the left is more worried about enforcement than election security, and that is never a good sign for people who still believe voting should be legal, orderly, and transparent.

It's about the math of who votes and who doesn't

Save America act

Eighty-six percent of Americans support that – including majorities of Democrats and independents. The House passed it in February along party lines. Fifty Republican senators have lined up behind it.

And Chuck Schumer has his entire caucus lined up to filibuster it into the ground before the November midterms.

"It's just a cynical attempt by Donald Trump to steal the election," Schumer told donors on a Sunday call as Senate Republicans prepared to bring the bill to the floor this week.

Think about that sentence for a moment.

Requiring proof of citizenship to vote is, in Schumer's telling, stealing an election.

The man running Senate Democrats just told you that verifying voters are American citizens is something his party considers a threat.

Proof of Citizenship for Florida voters

Florida Senate Backs Election Bill Tightening Voter Registration Rules

The Florida Senate on Thursday approved an elections bill that would require citizenship verification for voter registration, restrict some forms of voter identification at polling places and delay most of the changes until 2027, sending the measure back to the House for final action.

HB 991 passed the Senate by a 27-12 vote after senators adopted a delete-all amendment that replaced the House bill with the Senate’s version of the measure, adding proof-of-citizenship document requirements for voter registration, creating an “unverified voter” category, requiring provisional ballots for voters whose citizenship cannot be confirmed, revising online registration procedures and delaying most of the changes until Jan. 1, 2027.

The amendment also requires Florida driver licenses and state identification cards issued to U.S. citizens to carry a legal-status designation by July 1, 2027. The House previously passed the bill 83-31 on Feb. 25, and must now concur in the Senate changes before the measure can go to Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The bill would require people registering to vote to swear or affirm that they reviewed the registration instructions, are U.S. citizens and understand the penalties for providing false information.

It would also require an applicant’s citizenship status to be verified through records maintained by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. If citizenship cannot be confirmed, the applicant would be designated an “unverified voter.”

Democrats jeopardizing the safety of the United States

President Donald Trump has said he will withhold his signature from other legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act

which would impose nationwide proof-of-citizenship requirements in order to register to vote

“It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE,” Trump wrote in a March 8 post on Truth Social. “I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed.”

The measure—formally titled the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act—would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. It would also require voters to present valid photo identification at the polls or submit a copy of an ID when voting by mail.

The House passed the bill last month, but it is short of the 60-vote majority needed to avoid a filibuster in the Senate. Republicans, who hold a 53–47 majority in the upper chamber, would need support from Democrats, who oppose the package.

Trump’s ultimatum could add renewed pressure on Senate Republicans to consider procedural workarounds.

SAVE Act to stop the Fraud

Voter ID makes sense

But anything that makes sense is difficult to pass these days.

McConnell Blocks SAVE Act — What Happened?

What happened on the Senate floor--

Senator Mitch McConnell declined to bring the SAVE Act up for a Senate vote. The bill would have required voters to show an ID when voting, a change supported by large majorities of Americans. Conservative lawmakers and many grassroots activists are angry because the measure never got a fair vote.

Critics say McConnell and his team quietly kept the bill off the calendar instead of letting senators cast their ballots and let the public see where everyone stood.

Republican voters and several House members quickly criticized McConnell for blocking the bill. They say the move protects the old guard and big donors rather than voters.

Rep. Tim Burchett and other conservatives pushed back hard, saying voters deserve election reforms that build confidence in the system. These reactions came fast and loud on social media and at town halls, where activists demanded accountability.

What Planet is Schumer living on?

Senator Mike Lee Calls Schumer’s ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ Attack on Voter ID Bill ‘Paranoid Fantasy’

Every American knows the drill. You show ID to board a plane, buy a beer, pick up a prescription, or walk into a federal building. Try cashing a check without one. Good luck. Try starting a new job without proving who you are—your HR department will show you the door before you find your desk.

These requirements exist because identity verification matters. Nobody seriously argues otherwise.

Yet when it comes to voting—the very foundation of our constitutional republic—suddenly Democrats discover that proving you are who you say you are constitutes an unconscionable burden. Funny how that works.

The Senate is currently locked in battle over the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act. The legislation would require photo ID to vote in federal elections and proof of citizenship to register.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has branded this common-sense measure “Jim Crow 2.0,” dragging out the darkest chapter of American segregation to describe a bill that simply asks voters to do what they already do at the DMV.

The comparison isn’t just wrong. It’s an insult to the Americans who actually suffered under Jim Crow laws.

Democrats own the Government Shutdown, again

Trump blames Democrats for shutdown

Touts falling gas prices and crime numbers aboard Air Force One

President Trump pinned the ongoing partial government shutdown squarely on Democrats Monday, telling reporters aboard Air Force One that the impasse over Department of Homeland Security funding has "nothing to do with Republicans" and accused the opposition of resisting election integrity measures because "they want to cheat in elections."

Trump spoke while flying from Palm Beach International Airport back to Washington, framing the shutdown as a consequence of Democratic obstruction on voter ID, proof-of-citizenship requirements, and immigration enforcement.

He also claimed a string of economic and public safety wins for his administration, pointing to low inflation and falling fuel costs.

The partial government shutdown continues with no deal in sight. At its center: funding for the Department of Homeland Security and a widening disagreement over what conditions come attached to it.

Every time the debate turns to border enforcement or election security, Democrats find a reason to change the subject. The SAVE Act asks for something most Americans consider common sense: prove you're a citizen before you vote. That this is a dealbreaker tells you everything about Democratic priorities.

Obama and Voter ID

Obama Showed Photo ID To Vote In 2012 But Just Told Democrats To Kill Voter ID Bill

Trump White House Exposes Obama's SAVE Act Hypocrisy With 2012 Photo

Karoline Leavitt dropped a bomb Thursday that Democrats can't ignore.

She posted a 2012 photograph showing Obama at the Martin Luther King Community Center in Chicago, pulling his Illinois driver's license from his wallet for early voting. Election worker Marie Holmes is checking his photo ID – exactly what Obama now says would disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Obama joked about the lack of gray hair in his license photo as he complied with Illinois law requiring government-issued photo identification for early voting.

He didn't complain about suppression that day.

He didn't sue Illinois for Jim Crow tactics.

He smiled for the cameras and handed over his ID like every other American who needs one to board a plane, buy cold medicine, or pick up a prescription.

Voter ID

The SAVE ACT / SAVE AMERICA ACT

passed the house and we have 48 US Senators supporting the bill to require photo ID and proof of citizenship to vote in US elections

RINO Globalist Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski has come out against the bill (DC # (202) 224-6665 ) and really needs a strong GOP primary challenger in 2028!

Our current hurdle is the 60-vote filibuster rule, where 60 Senators must vote for cloture for the bill to advance, and then 51 votes are needed to send the bill to President Trump's desk, where he has indicated he wants to sign it.

The filibuster rule in the past helped us defeat Amnesty legislation 8 times in DC that would have already added 10+ million illegals to the Democrats' voter base, making today's efforts to save the nation and Trump's election wins impossible. [ALIPAC]

Voter ID

Trump Says He Will Sign Orders to Require Voter ID for Midterms

Republican Sen. Susan Collins became the latest to support the SAVE Act.

President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post Feb. 13 he plans to sign an executive order requiring voter ID for midterm elections this year as the SAVE Act remained on life support in the Senate.

“We cannot let the Democrats get away with NO VOTER I.D. any longer,” Trump posted. “Even Democrat Voters agree, 85 percent, that there should be Voter I.D.”

“This is an issue that must be fought, and must be fought, NOW! If we can’t get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order,” Trump said.

The U.S. House passed the SAVE America Act on Feb. 11. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) led the legislation that would require Americans to prove their citizenship when registering to vote.

Under the bill, citizens would have to show a photo identification when casting ballots, including mail-in ballots.

Save Act

No one is buying the Democrats’ gender war attacks on voter ID and the SAVE Act

Estimates for the total number of illegal immigrants living in the United States range from 11 million to 18 million, with Democrats often pushing the former number and Republicans the latter.

For the sake of argument says The Washington Examiner, let’s say the Center for Immigration Studies’s March study is correct, and the number is approximately 16 million.

With such a massive noncitizen population, it is obvious that serious steps should be taken to ensure that only citizens vote. To oppose such a move is strong evidence of bad faith and nefarious purpose.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, also known as the SAVE Act, is a proposed United States law that would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require "documentary proof of United States citizenship" to register to vote.

Democrats Hypocritical Voter ID stance

Jeffries called out on CNN for his flawed voter ID stance

The Democrat playbook consists of about four or five moves when it comes to Trump.

Trump is racist, Trump will suppress voters, and voting laws are Jim Crow 2.0, among a handful of others.

Shockingly, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was called out on live TV during a recent appearance on CNN for going against what the American people have made it clear they want to see.

The latest push by Democrats in their effort to undermine Trump is to block him from nationalizing the election process, the very thing that Democrats tried to do when Joe Biden was in office.

To be clear, I don’t support this, as it goes directly against our Constitution, but my point is about how hypocritical Democrats are on this front.

Jeffries stated, “What Donald Trump wants to do is try to nationalize the election. Translation: steal it. And we’re not going to let it happen.” 

The moment Jeffries made that claim, any journalist worth their salt would have thrown what the Dems were doing right back in his face, but in this particular interview on CNN, that did not happen.

Democrat's Hypocrisy on Voter ID

Gutfeld Exposes Democrats’ Voter ID Hypocrisy

Democrats loudly oppose voter ID laws and we know why. Polling shows most Americans back them. That includes Black and Latino voters. The numbers are plain.

On his show, Greg Gutfeld called out the obvious contradiction. He didn’t soften it. He put it right on the table.

“You got to hand it to the Democrats,” he said. “On one hand, they think a child can handle the decision to lop off their genitals, but then on the other, they think black people can’t get a photo ID.”

Gutfeld then played a clip of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer railing against voter ID bills. “The SAVE Act is an abomination,” Schumer declared. “It’s Jim Crow 2.0 across the country.” Schumer went on to vow, “We are going to do everything we can to stop it.”

Gutfeld pointed out everyday life that already requires ID. You need one to buy certain medicines. You need one to rent a truck. You need one for lots of simple tasks. Voting should be the same.

He also cited polling that undercuts the claim that voter ID is a fringe demand. “85% of white people favor it, 82% of Latino, 76% of black Americans favor it,” the CNN data analyst reported, adding that “the bottom line is this: voter ID is not controversial in this country.”

Make Elections Great Again Act (MEGA Act)

The Save Act

Remember when Democrats blocked the SAVE Act in the Senate last year?

They celebrated like they'd won the war on election integrity.

House Republicans just proved them spectacularly wrong with a bill that resurrects everything Democrats spent 2025 fighting against.

House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil rolled out the Make Elections Great Again Act on Thursday – citizenship verification, voter ID nationwide, mail ballot restrictions, and paper ballot requirements all in one package.

• The Wisconsin Republican brought back Chip Roy's citizenship check provision that Democrats killed in the Senate.
• Then he added photo ID requirements at every polling place in America.
• Then he banned states from automatically mailing ballots to all registered voters.
• Then he eliminated ranked-choice voting in federal elections and required paper ballots instead of electronic systems.
• Every single reform Democrats blocked last year, now combined into one bill, all before November's midterms.
