众议院最高民主党人周一声称，共和党人的[选举安全法案]等同于“压制选民”。
纽约州民主党众议员、众议院多数党领袖杰弗里斯在每周新闻发布会上批评了由众议院共和党人牵头的《SAVE美国法案》，该法案预计最早将于周三进行投票。
“共和党人已将压制选民作为一项选举策略。所谓的《SAVE法案》正是如此。”杰弗里斯表示。
他称本周即将进行投票的这项法案“比”此前名为《保障美国选民资格》（SAVE）的法案版本“更糟”，后者于2025年4月在众议院获得通过，当时获得了所有共和党人和四名民主党人的支持。

《SAVE法案》的主要内容是在全美50个州的选民登记过程中实施新的公民身份证明要求。
由德克萨斯州共和党众议员奇普·罗伊和犹他州共和党参议员迈克·李牵头的新法案，还将在投票站建立[联邦选民身份证]标准，要求人们在全国选举中投票时出示某种形式的身份证明。
杰弗里斯还指出，该法案中的一项条款要求州选举官员与联邦当局共享信息以核实选民登记中的公民身份，他指责共和党人试图将美国人的数据交给美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）。

“据我所知，这个版本实际上会赋予[美国国土安全部]从全国各地各州获取投票记录的权力。这些极端分子为什么会认为这是个好主意？”杰弗里斯问道。
“谁会希望国土安全部和移民和海关执法局——这些部门一直残酷、恶毒且暴力地针对普通美国人——掌握更多关于美国民众的数据？这太离谱了。这些人肯定有问题。我认为他们现在是在试图输掉选举。”
截至目前，尚无确凿证据表明非公民投票影响了任何联邦选举的结果。
但共和党人认为，拜登政府任内非法移民的涌入使得未来选举中出现这种情况成为现实。
然而，选民身份证条款在多项民调中都被证明颇受欢迎。
2025年8月发布的一项[皮尤研究中心]民调显示，高达[83%的受访者]支持政府发放的带照片身份证作为投票凭证，而反对这一要求的仅占16%。

杰弗里斯还表示，该法案在参议院将无法通过，根据当前规则，要克服阻挠议事需要至少部分民主党人的支持。
“它不会通过。如果它侥幸在众议院通过，到了参议院也会‘胎死腹中’。他们这是在浪费时间。”他说。
由于该法案在参议院极有可能失败，一群众议院保守派正敦促参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人[约翰·图恩]推翻参议院关于阻挠议事的规则，以取消克服阻挠议事所需的60票门槛。图恩尚未承诺任何行动路线。

The House of Representatives’ top Democrat claimed Republicans’ [election security bill] was tantamount to “voter suppression” on Monday.
House Majority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., criticized the House GOP-led SAVE America Act during his weekly press conference ahead of an expected vote on the bill coming as early as Wednesday.
“Republicans have adopted voter suppression as an electoral strategy. That’s what the so-called SAVE Act is all about,” Jeffries said.
He said the bill getting a vote this week is “worse than” a previous iteration simply called the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which passed the House in April 2025 with support from all Republicans and four Democrats.

The main thrust of the SAVE Act was implementing a new proof of citizenship requirement in the voter registration process in all 50 states.
The new bill, led by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, would also create [a federal voter ID] standard at the polls, requiring people to show a form of identification when casting a ballot in national elections.
Jeffries also pointed to a provision that would require information-sharing between state election officials and federal authorities in verifying citizenship on current voter rolls, accusing Republicans of trying to give Americans’ data to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“This version, as I understand it, will actually give [the [Department of Homeland Security)] the power to get voting records from states across the country. Why would these extremists think that’s a good idea?” Jeffries said.

“Who’d want DHS and ICE, who have been brutally, viciously and violently targeting everyday Americans, to have more data about the American people? It’s outrageous. Something is really wrong with these folks. I think they’re trying to lose elections at this point.”
There is no validated evidence to date that non-citizen voting has swayed the results of any federal election.
But Republicans have argued that the influx of illegal immigrants under the Biden administration has made the problem a real possibility in coming elections.
Nevertheless, voter ID provisions have proven popular in multiple public surveys.
A [Pew Research Center] poll released in August 2025 showed a whopping [83% of people supported] government-issued photo ID requirements for showing up to vote, compared to just 16% of people who disapproved of it.

Jeffries also said the bill would die in the Senate, where at least some Democrats are needed under current rules to overcome a filibuster and advance the legislation.
“It’s not going to pass. If it squeaks by the House, it’s dead on arrival in the Senate. They’re wasting time,” he said.
The real possibility of the bill failing in the Senate is why a group of House conservatives are pushing for Senate Majority Leader [John Thune], R-S.D., to upend the chamber’s rules on the filibuster to get rid of the 60-vote threshold needed to overcome one. Thune has not committed to any route.
