"The election provisions would require Americans to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections, a change to current law. Voting by noncitizens is already illegal under federal law, and documented cases are rare. The proposal would also require photo identification to vote and limit mail voting, requiring most ballots to be cast in person and restricting absentee voting to specific circumstances such as illness, disability, or verified travel."
"The amendment would also direct states to compare voter rolls with federal immigration databases and remove people identified as noncitizens, while requiring federal agencies to share data to support those checks."
"One provision would bar transgender women and girls from participating in school sports aligned with their gender identity, stating that it would be a violation of federal law to allow 'a person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designate'"
Senate Republicans introduced a comprehensive amendment to the SAVE America Act that combines voting restrictions with transgender-related policies. The election provisions require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration, photo identification to vote, and restrict mail voting to specific circumstances like illness or disability. The amendment directs states to compare voter rolls with federal immigration databases to remove noncitizens. Additional sections address unrelated culture war issues, including provisions barring transgender women and girls from participating in school sports aligned with their gender identity. The proposal reorganizes legislation into three sections: elections, sports, and child protections. President Trump has insisted these provisions be included in the bill.
