Republicans are pushing the SAVE Act to stop noncitizens from voting in U.S. elections.
There are two major issues with this assertion.
It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections, and there is no evidence that large numbers of noncitizens are voting.
One in 10 eligible voters can’t easily access documents to prove their citizenship.
Arizona passed a proof of citizenship law in 2022 that required new voters registering with federal forms to provide citizenship or residency documentation if they wanted to vote in presidential elections or vote early by mail for any office.
Democrats and numerous pro-voting groups filed lawsuits challenging the legislation.
A federal district court temporarily blocked the implementation of H.B. 2243, so it was not in place for the 2022 midterm elections, and on Sept. 14, 2023 , the court struck down.
Other states have introduced and passed similar legislation.
Many of these measures won't be settled in time to impact the 2024 election, but they could affect future elections.
Democrats and pro-voting groups will likely continue to file lawsuits and challenge laws and constitutional amendments as they are passed and go into effect.
