Yes, I know setting minimal standards to ensure only citizens of the USA can vote sounds good.

But can someone tell me how this can be enforced?

And

How can it be enforced any better than what could be done without the passage of the act?

You see, laws are only as good and as effective as they can be enforced, as there are penalties for violations.
2)

The Constitution of the USA states that state legislatures have the responsibility to organize elections for local, state, and federal offices.

So, sure, if there is a state that allows non-citizens to vote before the Save America Act,

one way of enforcing federal law, perhaps the only way, is to not allow candidates elected contrary to federal law to be seated. That means disallowing the winners elected with illegal votes from taking their seats in the House of Representatives or the Senate,

and in a presidential election, disallowing electors in the Electoral College from voting for president.

But if the Save America Act is passed, can something more be done to a state that does not comply with the Act’s provisions? If so, what?
5)

It seems to me that if California or Illinois or Colorado refuses to enforce the law now, refuses to make sure only citizens can vote now, nothing much changes with the Save America Act as law.
6)

What is missing is the will of the federal government, of the House, of the Senate, to enforce the law as stated in the Constitution of the USA.

Your opinion? No cliches, no guesses. Solutions only."
