The SAVE Act, which House Republicans could bring to a vote as early as this week, could make it more difficult for Americans living in rural areas, a cornerstone of the party’s coalition, to vote, experts said. The SAVE ACT, which stands for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, would impose new federal requirements for proving citizenship when registering to vote.
Republicans have long sought stricter voter registration guidelines, saying that it would prevent voter fraud. Critics have pushed back on these proposals, saying that there is little evidence of widespread voter fraud and new measures would make it more difficult for some Americans to vote.
