WASHINGTON β€” The Republican-controlled House voted Wednesday to pass the SAVE America Act, a sweeping election bill that President Donald Trump is pushing Congress to enact.

The vote was 218-213, with Republicans unanimously voting in favor and all but one Democrat voting against it. The one Democrat voting yes was Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas.

The 32-page legislation would require states to obtain documentary proof-of-citizenship β€œin person,” such as an American passport or birth certificate, from someone in order to register them to vote in a federal election.

The bill, which was revised from an earlier version to include new demands from Trump, also requires voters to show photo identification in order to cast a ballot in person. And it slaps new rules for mail-in ballots, requiring voters to submit a copy of an eligible ID when requesting and casting an absentee ballot.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Now let's see how many excuses the GOP Senate makes for not passing the SAVE Act.

They are worried about losing their phony bologna jobs.

Even (non elected) Democrats support voter ID laws.

This is all on Thune. He could arrange maneuvers in order for it to be voted if he so chose.

The U.S. is about to join the modern developed world by requiring proof of citizenship.

Time to leave the stone ages!

More then likely DOA in the Senate because of jackass Republican rino’s.
And it’s only the most important bill that’s been brought to the Senate in my entire lifetime.
