The False Fear of Noncitizen Voting The latest iteration of President Trump's voter suppression efforts has taken on a new, disturbing form: demonizing immigrants and casting doubt on election integrity without evidence.
The SAVE Act, a bill that would require every American to show a passport or birth certificate in person just to register to vote, is framed as a fraud prevention measure but would ultimately do far more to keep eligible citizens off voter rolls than to stop alleged noncitizen voting.
At first glance, the bill appears to be another misguided attempt by Trump to cling to power.
