US EditionElections officials decry costs heaped on states in SAVE America voting bill
- The SAVE America Act would impose new voting requirements on states without providing federal funding, causing significant challenges and added costs, such as $35 million for midterms and $12 million annually during presidential years in Washington state.
- The bill requires proof of citizenship to register to vote and creates barriers to vote-by-mail, despite mail-in voting being widely used and noncitizen voting being rare.
- Photo ID requirements mandated by the bill pose challenges because many citizens, including minorities and seniors, lack such IDs.
- Supporters argue the bill protects election integrity by verifying voter eligibility, while critics warn it could cause chaos in elections and harm voter participation.
