The House passed legislation Wednesday that would require Americans to show proof of citizenship <\/a>before registering to vote and provide photo identification before casting a ballot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act <\/a>cleared the lower chamber in a 218-213 vote. Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) was the only Democrat to join Republicans and vote yes.<\/p>\n

President Trump strongly supports the bill and urged \u201call Republicans to fight\u201d for the Save Act over the weekend, arguing in a Truth Social post that the country\u2019s elections are \u201cRigged, Stolen, and a Laughingstock all over the World.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are either going to fix them, or we won\u2019t have a Country any longer,\u201d the president asserted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
