And the reason they don\u2019t want it is because they want to cheat,\u201d Trump said in the Oval Office last week.\nBut while Republicans say the SAVE Act would restore election integrity\u2013despite there being no evidence of mass voter fraud in any U.S. election\u2013critics of the bill say it will suppress Black and Brown voters and create more barriers to their access to the ballot.\n\u201cThe Republicans\u2019 amended version of the SAVE Act that passed in the House is nothing more than an effort to undermine the right to vote ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The SAVE Act is not an election security bill \u2014 it is a voter suppression bill, full stop,\u201d said U.S. Rep. Yvette D. Clarke, the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. \u201cRepublicans have failed our communities with their billionaire-first agenda and policies that have caused the cost of living to skyrocket. They know their only pathway to keeping the majority in Congress is to steal the election by suppressing the vote under the guise of preventing non-existent, widespread voter fraud committed by noncitizens.\nClarke, a Democrat from New York, said the SAVE Act would \u201cundermine\u201d the U.S. election system and make it \u201charder to vote for millions of eligible U.S. citizens \u2014 disproportionately Black and minority voters and women.\u201d\nWASHINGTON, DC \u2013 JANUARY 03: United States Representative, Yvette D. Clarke attends the 2025 Congressional Black Caucus Ceremonial Swearing-In at The Anthem on The Wharf on January 03, 2025 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Leigh Vogel\/Getty Images for Congressional Black Caucus Foundation)\nAccording to the Democracy Project, 21% of Black Americans and 23% of Hispanic Americans do not have access to a driver\u2019s license, compared to only 8% of white Americans.\n\u201cConsequences of this are numerous, but one striking example is that 13.8% of Black households lack a checking or savings account compared to just 2.5% of white households. IDs are required to open these accounts,\u201d the outlet reports. The Democracy Project notes that restrictive ID practices date back decades to the Jim Crow era, when Black Americans were denied access to hospitals and never given birth certificates. \nNAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson said the SAVE Act is \u201cnothing more than voter suppression disguised as voter protection,\u201d adding, \u201cit\u2019s part of a larger effort to dismantle our right to vote.\u201d The civil rights leader urged the U.S. Senate to block the \u201cdangerous\u201d bill. \nJohnson pointed to Trump\u2019s previous declaration that elections should be \u201cnationalized,\u201d which he said is a \u201cdirect violation\u201d of the Constitution.\n\u201cHis ally [Steve Bannon] is urging him to deploy ICE to terrorize voters at the polls. And now Trump wants Congress to pass a\u00a0law\u00a0that would suppress tens of millions of citizens from voting. Why? Because he\u2019s a failed and deeply unpopular president, entangled in Epstein\u2019s sex trafficking crisis and a sinking economy, who knows he\u2019s bound to lose control of Congress,\u201d said the NAACP head. \nHe added, \u201cWe, the People, are still in charge of our democracy, and our vote still determines who represents us. Regardless of how much this senile old man tries to intimidate you, vote in November.\u201d \nThe SAVE Act is unlikely to pass in the Senate, where Republicans have a 53-47 majority\u2013short of the 60 votes needed to advance legislation. President Trump urged Republicans to change the filibuster in order to pass the SAVE Act.\n\u201cChanging the Senate filibuster to force through this voter suppression bill is a red line for the Congressional Black Caucus,\u201d said Rep. Clarke. \u201cThe CBC will not sit back while extremists continue to strip away access to the ballot box for our communities, and we are calling on every Senator to reject this assault on our democracy and stand up for the integrity of our elections.\u201d\nThe push to pass the SAVE Act comes several months before the November midterm elections. Trump, who also pushed for Republicans in several states to redraw congressional maps more favorable to them in this year\u2019s elections, has said that if Republicans lose their control of Congress, he will be impeached.\nMentioned in this article: Congress Donald Trump Voting Rights \nMore About:Featured",
