The SAVE America Act (a rebranded version of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration and photo ID at the polls. It passed the House multiple times in 2026, including as an amendment to the NDAA, but has repeatedly failed in the Senate, where it needs 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. Key setbacks include a June amendment rejection (48-50, with four Republicans joining Democrats) and a September defeat for attached voter ID provisions. Republican leaders have pursued procedural attachments to must-pass bills, while President Trump has pressed for action ahead of the midterms. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has shown limited willingness to advance the measure, contributing to trader consensus on low odds of enactment by year-end.
