ELECTION LINE IN THE SAND: The SAVE Act is becoming a real test of whether Congress will tighten federal voting rules or leave the current system in place. Republicans argue the bill would add straightforward protections by requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration and photo ID at the ballot box. Democrats say they are not against voter ID itself, but object to this approach because they believe the added paperwork could create barriers for legal voters. Since the Senate still lacks the votes to break a filibuster, the argument is shifting from talking points to accountability.
