SAVE Act

This bill says that anyone registering to vote in a federal election must show documents proving they are a U.S. citizen, such as an ID that meets certain federal standards. States would not be allowed to register someone to vote without this proof, but they must offer another way for people to show their citizenship if they don't have the standard documents. States would also be required to regularly check their voter lists and remove anyone who is not a U.S. citizen. The bill creates punishments, including criminal penalties, for election officials who register someone without proper citizenship proof, and it allows private individuals to sue officials who do so.
