HOUSE PASSES SAVE ACT – THE FIGHT OVER VOTER ID HEATS UP

The U.S. House has just passed the SAVE America Act in a razor-thin 218–213 vote, a bill that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register and a government-issued photo ID to vote in federal elections.

Supporters say it’s common-sense election security. They argue that American elections should be decided by American citizens, and that strong voter ID laws restore trust in the system.

Critics call it voter suppression. They warn the new rules could make it harder for millions of eligible citizens—especially the elderly, low-income voters, and married women with name changes—to cast their ballots.

One claim going viral online says every Republican supported the bill except Rep. Thomas Massie. But here’s the reality: Massie didn’t vote against the final SAVE Act itself. He voted against a procedural rule to advance the bill and later said he would support the legislation on the floor.

So while the vote was sharply divided along party lines, the viral claim about a lone Republican “no” vote on the actual bill isn’t entirely accurate.

The bill now heads to the Senate, where it faces a tough path due to the 60-vote threshold.
