New Trump-backed bill faces criticism over potential voter suppression measures

Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

The US House of Representatives has passed several bills related to voting, including the SAVE America Act and a bill that could create barriers for married women. The bills are now headed to the Senate for consideration.

One of the bills, the SAVE America Act, is backed by former President Donald Trump. It aims to prevent certain individuals from casting ballots in federal elections.

Another bill passed by the House would require voters to provide proof of citizenship at the time of registration or when voting. This requirement could potentially affect married women who may not meet the new standard for voter eligibility.

The bills are part of a broader effort by Republicans to change the way people cast their ballots. The changes aim to increase voter verification and reduce potential voter fraud.

The House has scheduled several votes on the bills, with some lawmakers expressing concerns about the impact on voting rights. The Senate will now consider the bills, which could potentially affect millions of voters in the upcoming midterm elections.

In total, 21 million citizens may be affected by the new voting requirements, according to estimates. The exact impact is still unclear and will depend on how the bills are ultimately shaped and implemented.
