Washington — The House passed a controversial bill on Thursday that would require Americans to show proof of citizenship in person to register to vote in federal elections, which critics say could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters. Four Democrats joined all Republicans to pass the measure in a 220-208 vote.

The House of Representatives passed the SAVE Act Thursday, with nearly all of the support coming from Republicans. While 208 Democrats voted against the measure, four Democrats joined the GOP in sending it to the Senate.

House Democrats are setting their sights on a host of Republican-held districts as they aim to take back control of the House in 2026. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) on Tuesday released a list of 35 “competitive” Republican-held seats that they are targeting as potential key pickup opportunities for the 2026 election cycle.
