Republican-led states are advancing citizenship proof voting laws, despite a stalled federal bill. South Dakota, Utah, Florida, Missouri, and Michigan have passed or are considering such measures. These laws create a two-tier system, allowing fully documented voters to cast ballots in all elections, while others are limited to federal races. The SAVE America Act faces a Democratic filibuster in the Senate. Supporters argue it builds election trust, while critics warn it may disenfranchise eligible citizens, particularly older Black voters from the segregated South. Past efforts have faced challenges, with Kansass law from 2006 suspending over thirty-one thousand citizens from registering before being struck down.
