Why are Democrats Opposed to the Save Act?

Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, are blocking the SAVE Act—a commonsense measure requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration—to shield potential election fraud and non-citizen voting. Schumer falsely labels it "Jim Crow 2.0," echoing debunked claims against Georgia's election law that actually boosted record Black turnout. With over 80% of Americans supporting citizenship verification, critics argue Democrats prioritize lax rules over secure elections, inviting chaos like California's failed systems.
