Summary
President Donald Trump has criticized mail-in voting as “corrupt as hell” as the SAVE America Act moves to the Senate floor for debate. The legislation focuses on voter identification and proof of citizenship, and Trump argued that these measures are necessary to secure elections. Senate Republicans have moved to bring the bill to the floor, aiming to force Democrats to take a public position on the measure. The bill’s path forward is uncertain, as Democrats have opposed the legislation and Republicans would need their support to reach the 60-vote threshold.
