Lest We Forget History: Voter ID Passed House

Описание: Here the stories that you will not hear anywhere else.

In today’s episode of Lest We Forget History, Lillian Cauldwell examines the House’s passage of the Voter ID bill known as the SAVE Act — the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act. The GOP‑led House approved the measure on February 11, but its future in the Senate remains uncertain. Earlier versions of this legislation stalled in both chambers last year.

The bill would require individuals to present proof of citizenship in person when registering to vote in federal elections. It also adds a new requirement that voters show an approved form of photo identification before casting a ballot.

However, these requirements raise concerns for several groups. For example, married women who have taken their spouse’s last name may encounter mismatches between their legal documents and their passport or driver’s license. Advocates argue this could create barriers that disproportionately affect women. Civil rights groups also warn that people of color may face additional hurdles, making the law vulnerable to claims of discrimination.
