US House to vote on bill that will require proof of citizenship for casting ballot

Republicans to push Safeguard American Voter Eligibility bill in effort to quell unproved fraud of non-citizens voting

Congressional Republicans will vote this week on a bill to require people to show proof of citizenship to register to vote, a move that comes as they lay the groundwork for undermining election results in November.

The House will vote on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility bill, or Save bill, which would make states require, in person, documents that prove a person is a US citizen when registering to vote. This can include a Real ID, passport or other kinds of identification that show a person's place of birth. It wouldn't include a standard drivers license as a sole form of identification and calls for a secondary proof of place of birth alongside it, like a birth certificate.
