Bills to Prevent Illegals from Voting
Details
Republicans have introduced the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act), which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote, citing concerns about open borders and declining confidence in elections. The SAVE Act, or the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, has been brought forth in both the House and Senate by Republican representatives Chip Roy (R-Texas) in the House and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) in the Senate.
Did you know that in 2013 the US Supreme Court ruled in Arizona vs. Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona that the National Motor Voter Law prohibits states from requiring proof of citizenship?
Statement by Senator Mike Lee:
Congressional Democrats insist that the SAVE Act—which requires proof of citizenship to establish eligibility to vote in federal elections—is unnecessary because federal law (18 USC § 611) already prohibits non-citizens from voting in federal elections.
Those making this argument ignore a glaring problem: the government officials who register voters and conduct federal elections aren’t allowed to require proof of citizenship.
It’s therefore shockingly easy for non-citizens to vote in federal elections, leaving our elections dangerously vulnerable to foreign interference.
Anyone—even an illegal alien or other non-citizen—can register to vote in federal elections, just by checking a box and signing a form.
This is all on the honor system. No proof of citizenship is required.”
The SAVE Act would require those registering to vote to provide proof of citizenship and require states to review existing voter registration files and remove all non-citizens.
Action Steps
Contact your US Rep and Senators Casey and Fetterman and ask them to co-sponsor and support the SAVE Act.
