If the "SAVE act" passes most people registering to vote would have to present documents in person at an elections office, including people who vote by mail.
Advocacy groups that oppose the legislation say that the bill would crush voter registration efforts ahead of this year’s elections.
The bill would create new penalties for election officials who register applicants who have not presented documentary proof of citizenship.
Opponents say that provision could potentially scare workers into turning away valid applicants while also discouraging people from working or volunteering at polling locations.
It would also allow private individuals to sue election officials in some circumstances.

The legislation would require states to share voters’ information with the Department of Homeland Security as a way to verify the citizenship of the names on the voter rolls
—giving the federal government unprecedented access to state voter data.

Many states are already embroiled in legal fights with the Trump administration over demands that they provide voter information
