美国众议院正准备就一项法案进行投票,该法案将要求在即将到来的2026年中期选举中,全美选民必须出示带照片的身份证件。
在大多数法案提交全院投票前的最后一道关卡——众议院规则委员会周二通过了《SAVE美国法案》,保守派继续向参议院施压,要求在该法案可能获得众议院通过后尽快审议。
这项全面的立法旨在防止非公民参与美国选举。
民主党人抨击该法案等同于压制选民,而共和党人则辩称,在拜登政府四年任期内涌入数百万非法移民后,这一要求是必要的。

众议院议长、来自路易斯安那州的共和党人迈克·约翰逊(Mike Johnson)告诉记者,该法案将于周三进行投票。
该法案由来自得克萨斯州的共和党众议员奇普·罗伊(Chip Roy)在众议院牵头,来自犹他州的共和党参议员迈克·李(Mike Lee)在参议院推动。
这是罗伊提出的《保护美国选民资格法案》(Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility,简称SAVE法案)的更新版本,该法案于2025年4月在众议院通过,但从未在参议院得到审议。
原版《SAVE法案》将在选民登记过程中确立新的联邦公民身份证明要求,并要求各州清理不符合条件的选民名单;而更新后的法案还将要求在任何联邦选举中都必须出示带照片的身份证件。
它还将要求州选举官员与联邦机构共享信息,以核实当前选民名单上的公民身份,并允许国土安全部(DHS)在发现非公民被列为有资格投票时,追究其移民案件。
该法案极有可能在众议院通过,因为绝大多数(如果不是几乎所有)共和党人过去都支持类似的举措。

但在参议院,根据现行规则,要克服阻挠议事并进行最终投票需要60票,即使所有共和党人都团结起来,也至少需要7名民主党人支持。

这就是为什么众议院保守派正在推动参议院共和党领袖改变规则,以实际上取消60票的门槛,即使这意味着上议院将因无休止的辩论而瘫痪数小时。
罗伊周二向福克斯新闻数字频道表示:“[参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩(R-南达科他州)]会审议该法案。问题只在于,他是否会在一个法案能够通过的环境中审议它?”
“我的看法是,多数党领袖能够且应该这样做。我不怕修正案投票……我们应该搁置他们所有的修正案,迫使他们进行所有发言,让他们走上讲台进行阻挠议事。”

Key House committee advances nationwide voter ID bill, setting up 2026 election fight
The full House will vote on the bill on Wednesday

The House of Representatives is readying to vote on a bill that would mandate photo identification for voters across the United States in the coming 2026 midterm elections.
The House Rules Committee, the final gatekeeper before most bills see a chamber-wide vote, advanced the SAVE America Act on Tuesday as conservatives continue to pressure the Senate to take up the bill after its likely House passage.
It’s a sweeping piece of legislation aimed at keeping non-citizens from participating in U.S. elections.
Democrats have attacked the bill as tantamount to voter suppression, while Republicans argue that it’s necessary after the influx of millions of illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. during the four years of the Biden administration.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters it would get a vote on Wednesday.
The legislation is led by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, in the House, and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, in the Senate.
It is an updated version of Roy’s Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which passed the House in April 2025 but was never taken up in the Senate.
Whereas the SAVE Act would create a new federal proof of citizenship mandate in the voter registration process and impose requirements for states to keep their rolls clear of ineligible voters, the updated bill would also require photo ID to vote in any federal elections.

It would also require information-sharing between state election officials and federal authorities in verifying citizenship on current voter rolls and enable the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to pursue immigration cases if non-citizens were found to be listed as eligible to vote.
The legislation is highly likely to pass the House, where the vast majority — if not virtually all — Republicans have supported similar pushes in the past.

But in the Senate, where current rules say 60 votes are needed to overcome a filibuster and hold a final vote on a bill, at least seven Democrats would be needed even if all Republicans stuck together.

It’s why House conservatives are pushing Senate GOP leaders to change rules in a way that would effectively do away with the 60-vote threshold, even if alternative paths mean paralyzing the upper chamber with hours of nonstop debate.
“[Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D.] will take it up. The only question is, will he take it up in an environment where it can pass?” Roy posed to Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
“My view is that the majority leader can and should. I’m not afraid of amendment votes…we should table all their amendments, force them to run through all their speaking, make them take the floor and filibuster.”
