House Republicans Push Rep. Chip Roy's SAVE Act (H.R. 8281) Amid Biden Administration Opposition
Jul 8, 2024, 01:46 PM
House Republicans are advocating for the passage of the SAVE Act, a piece of legislation designed to ensure that only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections. The bill, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (H.R. 8281), mandates that state election officials verify citizenship status before allowing individuals to register to vote. Proponents argue that this measure is essential to uphold the integrity of American elections and prevent illegal immigrants from influencing electoral outcomes. Speaker Johnson and other Republican lawmakers have voiced strong support for the bill, emphasizing the need for proof of citizenship to protect the sanctity of the voting process. The House is back in session to vote on the SAVE Act. However, the Biden administration and House Democrats have expressed strong opposition to the SAVE Act, arguing that it would make it harder for Americans to vote and that current laws already prohibit non-citizens from voting in federal elections. The SAVE Act, also known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, would require citizenship documentation to register to vote nationwide. Critics argue that Democrats want illegal aliens to vote in elections and that the current law allows non-citizens to receive a 'federal only' ballot.
