Florida Senate passes own version of anti-voting SAVE America Act
Florida lawmakers are poised to approve sweeping new restrictions that would require voters to prove their citizenship status, as well as remove student ID as an acceptable form of voter identification.
In a 27-12 vote, the state Senate on Thursday passed its own version of the SAVE America Act, a piece of national anti-voting legislation pushed by President Donald Trump.
The state House, which approved the legislation last month, must now approve the amended version of the bill. After that, it will head to Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for signature.
If enacted, the national SAVE America Act would be the most restrictive piece of election legislation in history. Although the bill passed the House of Representatives last month, it appears doomed to fail when it heads to the Senate next week.
