House Republicans on Wednesday made another attempt to answer Donald Trump’s demand for new restrictions on voting nationwide by linking the measure to an unrelated spending bill and passing both largely along party lines. The effort was the latest attempt by congressional Republicans to pass the Save America Act, which would ban mail-in ballots and impose new identification requirements on voters when they register and cast ballots. While the Trump administration has cast the bill as necessary to prevent non-citizens from voting and combat election fraud, voting rights advocates say there’s no evidence of widespread election tampering and warn the bill could disenfranchise swaths of eligible voters ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Election Heroes
The Public Servants Behind Every Ballot
By Jeanette Senecal and Adam Ambrogi
Every election relies on public servants willing to take on one of the most important, and increasingly demanding, jobs in American democracy.
It is no surprise that many electionline readers are election officials themselves. You arrive before dawn to prepare polling places. You answer voters’ questions with patience, test voting equipment, verify signatures, train poll workers, process registrations, and count ballots long after election headlines have faded. You adapt to changing election laws, manage increasingly complex election cycles, and remain steadfast in your commitment to serving every eligible voter.
Yet despite this essential role in election administration, election officials and poll workers are often known only when something goes wrong. Too rarely do we pause to recognize the extraordinary work that allows millions of Americans to vote safely, securely, and with confidence.
