Republicans push MEGA Act to require photo ID, limit mail ballots, citing security; Democrats oppose, citing voter suppression.
The House Administration Committee held a hearing on the MEGA Act, a Republican-backed bill by Rep. Bryan Steil that would require photo ID for voting, limit mail-in ballots, mandate paper ballots, verify citizenship, and ban ballot harvesting and ranked-choice voting.
Proponents say it strengthens election security and reflects public support, citing a Pew poll showing broad backing for photo ID laws.
Democrats oppose the bill, warning it could restrict access for minority, elderly, and low-income voters, calling it a partisan effort to suppress turnout.
The bill is more expansive than the SAVE Act, which is expected to pass the House but faces challenges in the Senate.
Los republicanos impulsan la Ley MEGA para exigir una identificación con foto, limitar las papeletas por correo, citando la seguridad; Los demócratas se oponen, citando la supresión de votantes.
