House Republicans dragged the stalled SAVE America Act back to life on Tuesday, bolting it to a must-pass spending bill, as experts warn the measure could force 69 million married women to prove their identities before voting.
The House voted 215-211 on 14 July to merge the election bill, formally the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, with a 2027 appropriations package funding the State Department and national security programmes, a manoeuvre known as 'MIRVing'. Every Democrat opposed the rule, joined by one Republican, Florida's Randy Fine.
