Summary
Trump has made cracking down on alleged mass voter fraud a priority, but his election-related executive orders are stalled in court and his legislative fix is stuck in the Senate. Senate Republicans have defied Trump on the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote. Trump has retaliated by threatening not to sign any legislation without it. A D.C. court on Monday blocked Trump's expansion of the SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) database, to scan local voter files for noncitizens.
