## Resource

Senator Mike Lee is rallying behind the SAVE Act, a controversial bill that would require voters to prove U.S. citizenship before registering for federal elections — a move he likens to securing a meal at Olive Garden. Backed by former President Trump and eyed for inclusion in a government funding bill before September 30, the proposal has ignited fierce debate. While some Republicans see it as a necessary step to restore election integrity, others, including Senator Lisa Murkowski, warn it’s too rushed and could disenfranchise rural voters. With courts and election officials already debunking claims of election fraud, the bill’s passage remains uncertain — and its potential to spark a government shutdown adds to the tension.
