EXCERPT:
House Republicans may have found their best path yet to get President Trump’s election-integrity agenda through the Senate.
Instead of waiting for Democrats to supply the votes needed to break a filibuster, GOP leaders are preparing to use budget reconciliation to move the core of the SAVE America Act with a simple majority.
The target is straightforward: require proof of citizenship when Americans register to vote and establish a nationwide photo-ID standard for federal elections.
Current reporting lays out the plan and the tight timetable facing Republicans before the November midterms:
House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil is overseeing the election provisions. He says conversations are underway with the Trump administration and Senate Republicans about writing them into a reconciliation package.
Fox News Digital reports that Steil wants to include the SAVE America Act’s two biggest mandates: documentary proof of citizenship during voter registration and photo identification when casting a federal ballot.
