Chip Roy and Mike Lee Lead Republicans in Reintroducing SAVE Act to Prevent Noncitizen Voting, Bill Has 59 Co-Sponsors
Jan 9, 2025, 04:53 PM
Republican lawmakers in the House and Senate, led by Rep. Chip Roy and Sen. Mike Lee, have reintroduced the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. The legislation aims to prevent noncitizens from voting in federal elections by requiring states to obtain documentary proof of U.S. citizenship and identity when registering voters. The bill also mandates states to establish programs to remove noncitizens from voter rolls and allows citizens to sue officials who fail to enforce these measures. The SAVE Act, which had passed the House in the previous session with five Democrats voting in favor but stalled in the Senate, is seen as a priority by Republicans to enhance election integrity amid concerns over noncitizen voting. The bill currently has 59 co-sponsors in the House, according to Fox News.
