The U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed the SAVE America Act, a measure that would require proof of citizenship for voter registration and mandate photo identification at polling places. The bill now heads to the Senate, where it faces an uncertain future and will likely require bipartisan support to advance.

In Arizona, a group of election experts and advocates denounced the legislation, characterizing it as a product of election denialism rather than a necessary security measure. These critics argue that the state’s current voting systems are already secure and that the proposed federal requirements target problems that do not exist. FOX 10’s Brian Webb has the story.
