It also introduces penalties for election officials who fail to verify citizenship.
The Save America Act is a revised version of last year's Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (Save) Act.

House Republicans have since linked the bill to a separate spending measure, passing both along party lines.

The Save Act is voter suppression. It is part of a larger agenda of conservatives trying to steal power from the people.”
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker also criticized the bill, saying, “Tonight, Donald Trump reminded us again just how desperate he is to steal the midterm elections.
The so-called Save America Act isn’t about stopping fraud, it’s about stopping voters.”
