President Donald Trump said on March 9 that he wants to see the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act passed, keeping the pressure on Senate Republicans to pass the measure that remains stalled in the upper chamber.

Trump wrote that the measure should require all voters to show identification, require people to show proof of U.S. citizenship to vote, and ban mail-in ballots except for travel, military service, disability, or illness.
