Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz) has criticized the SAVE America Act, claiming it is intended to restrict voting access and benefit Republicans rather than secure elections. Kelly also warned that the act could disenfranchise millions, particularly seniors, by requiring in-person re-registration and documents like birth certificates or passports that many older voters may not have. President Donald Trump has called on Republicans to support the bill, oppose ICE funding cuts without it, eliminate the filibuster, and warned that dissenting lawmakers could lose future elections.
