The controversial SAVE Act, proposed by President Donald Trump, requires proof of United States citizenship to vote in federal elections. Critics argue that this could guarantee Republicans victories in the 2026 midterms by eliminating fraud that helps Democrats or preventing eligible Democrats from voting. However, this is a lie, as there is no widespread fraud that supports Democrats. The SAVE act would federalize election rules, which have proven their ability to withstand widespread fraud from noncitizen voters. The bill focuses on minor instances of non-citizens attempting to vote illegally, rather than addressing larger share of proven fraud. It would result in more restrictions on voting rights, costing Republicans more significantly in some Republican states than Democrats.
