The House on April 10 gave the nod to a bill that would enhance documentation and identity requirements to ensure that only U.S. citizens vote in elections.

The bill, a Republican priority since well before President Donald Trump’s sweeping victory in 2024, was passed in a 220–208 vote that won the support of four Democrats and all Republicans.
