The privilege of voting belongs to American citizens, and securing our elections means protecting every step of the process from registration to casting a ballot.
While federal and state law limits voting to U.S. citizens, enforcement has been seriously undermined by loopholes in the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). There is no federal requirement for states to obtain proof of citizenship and, worse, the NVRA has been interpreted by activists to prevent states from requiring proof of citizenship when registering voters.
Many states produce state identification cards and driver’s licenses for illegal aliens, making it more critical than ever to ensure that non-citizens are not using these documents to fraudulently vote in American elections.
The SAVE America Act (H.R. 7296/House Amendment to S.1383), introduced by Congressman Chip Roy (TX-21), addresses these weaknesses by requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and requiring photo identification to cast a ballot in federal elections.
Simply put, this bill is an upgrade—it builds upon the previously filed SAVE Act that only required proof of citizenship.
Americans understand that, together, these safeguards would secure elections from start to finish. That is reflected in recent polling which showed 71% of Americans support the SAVE America Act.
The right to vote is one of the most sacred privileges of American citizenship. Senate Republicans must be willing to put in the work — even if it means enforcing the talking filibuster.
Urge your Senator to bring the SAVE America Act to the floor, enforce a talking filibuster, and pass it.
