House Passes SAVE America Act
The House of Representatives passes the SAVE America Act by a 218-213 margin.
The House of Representatives passed the SAVE America Act by a 218-213 margin on Wednesday, a bill that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo identification to vote in federal elections.
Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas was the only Democrat to join Republicans in voting for the bill. One Republican and one Democrat did not vote.
A modified version of the previously passed “SAVE Act,” the bill includes new photo identification requirements. It is a priority of hardline conservatives in Congress.
The bill has faced generalized Democrat resistance, especially in the Senate, where Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has said it would impose “Jim Crow-style restrictions on voting.”
House Republican leaders backed the bill, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., signing on as co-sponsors. The bill had zero Democrat co-sponsors.
Comment:
The Save Act is a threat to the Democrat Party's power.
The bill prevents people from voting twice and non-citizen from voting in our elections.
Democrat voter fraud is a violation of everyone's Right to Vote.
These Democrat lawmakers who voted against the Save Act bill have voted against protecting our Right to Vote.
