If senators don’t figure out a way to pass this bill, they say, Republicans won’t be able to win elections anymore. If the bill isn’t signed into law, they say, GOP voters will just stay home in the 2026 midterm elections. It’s all rather apocalyptic, especially given the legislation deals with a purported problem (noncitizen voting) for which there is precious little actual evidence. But when the poll asked about the actual piece of legislation, formerly known as the SAVE Act, support wasn’t anywhere close to those numbers. Attendees hold signs advocating for voting rights and against the SAVE America Act outside the U.S. Capitol on March 18, 2026.
