Following the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling on Monday that federal law does not require mail-in ballots to be received by Election Day, U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) once again called for the passage of the SAVE America Act.
According to the bench, states may count votes postmarked by Election Day but received after Election Day, if permitted by state law.
Moore, who believes the verdict could lead to widespread election fraud, agreed with President Donald Trump, saying that the legislation should be quickly passed to ensure improved election security ahead of midterm elections.
"President Trump is right," said Moore, who is the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Alabama. "If the courts won't require ballots to be counted on Election Day, then Congress must step in. I am calling on the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act now."

The SAVE America Act would require voters to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote and to present photo identification when casting ballots. Additionally, the bill would end mail-only registrations.
