BASH: Do you agree that the state is 'an agent for the federal govt' in elections?

HUSTED: I understand the president's frustration. We can instill confidence in both the president and American people that elections are run well through the SAVE Act

BASH: The president wasn't talking about the SAVE Act, though

HUSTED: I don't know exactly what he means

The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens
https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-save-act-would-disenfranchise-millions-of-citizens/

"the legislation would require the vast majority of #Americans to rely on a passport or birth certificate to prove their citizenship.... more than 140 million #American citizens do not possess a passport and as many as 69 million #women who have taken their spouse’s name do not have a birth certificate matching their legal name."

Text: The Latest on the Save Act
- The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship status by presenting documentation—in person—when registering to vote or updating their voter registration information.
- More than 140 million American citizens do not possess a passport.
- As many as 69 million women who have taken their spouse’s name do not have a birth certificate matching their legal name.
- At President Trump and Elon Musk’s urging, congressional Republicans are poised to make another push to pass the SAVE Act  ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. They have announced they will be advancing the Make Elections Great Again Act and the SAVE America Act—both of which are rebranded versions of the SAVE Act and should be seen as SAVE Act 2.0.

The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens

The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.
