WASHINGTON — The SAVE America Act, which mandates proof of citizenship to register to vote and aims to overhaul voting laws, has garnered over 50 votes in the Republican-controlled Senate and is backed by President Trump. Despite passing the House, the bill faces hurdles due to the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster rule, which Democrats are expected to leverage. Sen. Mike Lee advocates for a “talking filibuster” strategy, while opponents, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, criticize the bill as restrictive. Key Republican figures, including Sen. Susan Collins, support the bill but oppose eliminating the filibuster, complicating its passage.
