Story summary

Leavitt criticized Democrats for claiming the SAVE America Act restricts voting.
He said the Act only affects illegal aliens and does not impact married women who change their names, since they can update registration through state processes.
The Act would amend the National Voter Registration Act, including abolishing mail-in voting, requiring citizenship and residency proof for registration, and mandating monthly voter roll purges, which he says would burden election officials.
