Republican Congresswoman Claudia Tenney of New York has expressed her support for the House passage of the SAVE Act, a bill she co-sponsored, aimed at preventing illegal immigrants from voting in U.S. elections. The legislation, which passed by a final vote of 221-198, emphasizes the importance of ensuring that only citizens participate in elections to uphold the principle of one citizen, one vote.
While the majority of Democrats voted against the measure, five Democrats, including Rep. Henry Cuellar, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, Rep. Jared Golden, Rep. Don Davis, and Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, supported the bill. Tenney, who chairs the House Election Integrity Caucus, highlighted the significance of safeguarding the right to vote as a cornerstone of democracy and self-governance.
