Fact Check: Does the SAVE America Act Force Voter Registration Only In Person?

Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.


Claimant: Chuck Schumer (D)


Claim: The SAVE America Act would force Americans to register to vote only in person, something only 5% of Americans do.


Rating: MISLEADING


Explanation: The SAVE America Act would require documentary proof of citizenship to be presented in person when registering to vote. However, estimates show that between 11% and 42% of Americans already register in person, including those who do so at motor vehicle offices, making the 5% figure inaccurate.
