State Conservatives Advance SAVE Laws While the Senate Stalls
20th September 2026
Ensuring America has secure elections might be the largest and most consequential fight for conservatives ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections. Requiring identification and proof of citizenship to vote is an 80-20 issue for Americans, and conservatives are fighting to deliver it.
The SAVE Act, which would establish a requirement for voter ID and proof of citizenship for voter registration, has passed the U.S. House multiple times, but the Senate has repeatedly failed to pass any version of it. Instead of waiting around for the Senate to act, state officials are taking it into their own hands.
Multiple states have already passed their own versions of the SAVE Act. A charge led by the State Freedom Caucus Network, a group of state elected conservatives, is advancing legislation in Arizona, South Dakota, and Wyoming, with more to come.
Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, told the Daily Signal at the network’s annual summit that this is “absolutely” a solution to the Senate refusing to act. Self was a keynote speaker at the summit in Dallas, Texas.
Self is my Congressman, and does a find job.
