How 1 Republican proposes to pass election safeguards without Democrats
Rep. Julie Fedorchak will introduce the 'SAVE America Through REAL ID Act,' aiming to use budget reconciliation to incentivize states to require REAL IDs for voting. The bill allocates $50 million annually from 2027 to 2031 for grants to help states assist lower-income individuals in obtaining REAL IDs, bypassing Senate parliamentarian hurdles faced by the original SAVE America Act.
