Trump-backed election integrity bill barring noncitizens from voting passes House - Washington Examiner
The House passed the SAVE Act, an election integrity bill that will strengthen laws to bar noncitizens from voting in federal elections.
The House passed a GOP election integrity bill on Wednesday that will bar noncitizens from voting in federal elections, a win for House Republicans as they step up messaging ahead of the 2024 elections.
All Republicans voted to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, with all but five Democrats voting against the measure. The bill would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require people to provide proof of citizenship before registering to vote.
Democrats have blasted the bill as unnecessary GOP messaging on a matter that is already illegal. Democrats have also argued that evidence of instances of noncitizens voting is rare and, even if those ballots were detected, it would do little to sway a presidential election.
“Republicans’ continued election denialism is akin to collective hero syndrome, where individuals create harmful situations, like lighting a fire, only to seek praise for putting the fire out,” Rep. Joseph Morelle (D-NY), ranking member of the Administration Committee, said on the floor ahead of the vote.
The measure will head to the Democratic-controlled Senate, where it will likely be voted down or delayed in being brought to the floor.
Comment:
Why are government agencies giving non-citizens voter registration forms if they are not allowed to vote?
Why did the Democrats allow 10 million people to illegally enter our country?
The Democrats are liars and cheaters.
They have failed to convince mainstream people to vote for them, therefore they are trying to fill America with poor welfare dependent migrants.
Schumer will keep the bill from coming up for a vote in the senate so that the Democrat senators will not go on the record for voting against election integrity.
