House Republicans have introduced a new bill, the SAVE Act, aimed at ensuring that only American citizens can vote in U.S. elections. This legislation, also referred to as the Equal Representation Act, comes in response to concerns about noncitizens influencing election outcomes and congressional district apportionment. Key proponents of the bill, including Representatives Chuck Edwards, Mike Collins, and Bryan Steil, emphasize the need to protect the integrity of American elections from noncitizen participation. The bill also seeks to address issues related to illegal immigrants being registered to vote, a concern highlighted by Senator Mike Lee.
