Critics call it an unprecedented power grab, while the White House insists it’s just fulfilling campaign promises. The SAVE America Act would require proof of citizenship and ID to vote, and mandate states share voter data with DHS. But courts keep stepping in: judges have blocked federal voter databases over privacy concerns, upheld state mail ballot rules, and rejected the Postal Service’s proposed role in ballot distribution. Despite legal setbacks, the White House remains confident some changes will be in place by November, as local election officials brace for disruption and work to keep voters informed.
