The act could affect whether married women without passports are able to register to vote.

Summary

The SAVE Act, reintroduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote, relying on documents like birth certificates and passports.

Critics argue it could disenfranchise millions, particularly married women whose names no longer match their birth certificates. The bill does not recognize marriage certificates as valid proof of identity.

Supporters say it protects election integrity, while opponents highlight the minimal occurrence of noncitizen voting.

With Republican control of Congress and the White House, the bill is likely to pass.

      A confrontation is coming, but the problem is it isn’t just one person but an entire party in power. If it’s as bad I think it will be—and we make it out of this as a single country—we’re going to need de-Nazification laws, but with the Republican party. “De-Republicanification”…

          Also embrace deconstruction for some states namely Florida rip up the roots of civilization and give it back to the swamps. The Seminole can have the entire region once its all done.
