House GOP leaders are gearing up to bring a bill to the floor in July aimed at bolstering protections against noncitizens voting. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, championed by House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is set to be a focal point of discussion following the upcoming Independence Day recess.
The 22-page memo circulated by Johnson within the House GOP conference highlights the necessity of the SAVE Act, citing 'irrefutable evidence' of illegal voting by noncitizens in U.S. elections. The memo points to the 1993 National Voter Registration Act as a key factor, noting that the current system lacks a requirement for proof of citizenship during voter registration.
