**The SAVE Act (H.R. 22 and its 2026 successor, the SAVE America Act) requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration, along with photo ID and related provisions.** It passed the House in February 2026 by 218–213 but has repeatedly stalled in the Senate. Multiple attempts to advance it—via standalone consideration, amendments to must-pass bills like DHS funding and the NDAA, and reconciliation procedures—have failed. Key Senate votes, such as the June 2026 amendment tally of 48–50, saw four Republicans (Collins, Murkowski, McConnell, and Tillis) join Democrats to block progress. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has stated there are insufficient votes to overcome the 60-vote filibuster threshold, and no viable path has emerged despite presidential pressure. By mid-September 2026, with the legislative calendar tightening ahead of the midterms, repeated procedural defeats and the absence of bipartisan support have solidified trader expectations that the bill will not reach the president’s desk for signature this year. Late-session maneuvers or rule changes remain theoretically possible but face the same vote-count realities.
