Some of Trump’s voter ID demands are common in Canada. Critics say the devils are in the details
He has pressed forward new legislation, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, better known by its catchy acronym, the SAVE Act. He has cajoled and browbeaten Congress to pass the bill, which would obligate voters to show identification and prove their citizenship, even withholding his signature from other bills until lawmakers pass it. Last week, he devoted a rare primetime address to demanding what he called urgently needed reforms to address a “crisis of election security.” Those reforms, critics say, would amount to the most restrictive voting legislation ever enacted by Congress.
