Trump’s SAVE Act is not about election integrity. It would actually make voting harder.

Mr. Trump has been touting the SAVE Act as a means to prevent noncitizens from voting—which almost never happens anyway.
The SAVE Act would require all voters to present identification such as a passport or birth certificate, in person, to register to vote, to update their registration and to submit their ballot.
The SAVE Act thus institutes what amounts to a poll tax for those who do not have the specific identification the bill requires.
Perhaps concern for election security could instead spark a conversation around ways to automatically enroll citizens of voting age.
There is no reason we cannot implement a similar automatic voting registration system that would alleviate most voting hindrances.
