Verdict
Mixed
2026-03-19Reasoning
Schumer correctly described the SAVE Act's in-person documentary proof-of-citizenship requirement, but his 5% figure significantly underestimates the share of Americans who register in person. Federal Election Assistance Commission data shows the share is roughly 11–42% depending on whether motor-vehicle agency registrations are counted.
