## Resource

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, better known as the SAVE America Act, is a 2026 bill designed to tighten federal election integrity by requiring proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration, and photo proof when voting in federal elections. Recently passed by the House, this bill has created quite the stir, igniting debates in the Senate with bipartisan opposition to registering and voting through documentation requirements. So if passed, will the SAVE America Act change elections going forward? And how will this impact who votes in future elections? On this episode of Lawyer 2 Lawyer, Craig joins John J. Martin, Assistant Professor of Law at Quinnipiac University School of Law, as they explore the SAVE America Act and voter ID requirements. Craig & John discuss the origin, constitutionality, and potential impact on the people of the United States. Mentioned in this Episode: Citizenship Voting Requirement in SAVE America Act Has No Basis in the Constitution – and Ignores Precedent that Only States Decide Who Gets to Vote by John J. Martin
