A few months before Election Day 2024, House Speaker Mike Johnson made a pilgrimage of sorts to Mar-a-Lago to kiss Donald Trump’s ring and unveil a proposal they seemed excited about. The Republican duo pitched legislation that would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote. (The absurdity of watching two notorious election deniers pretend to be deeply concerned with the integrity of elections was a detail the public was apparently supposed to overlook.) Soon after, the proposal took legislative form, and the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (or SAVE Act) was born.
