Republicans are pushing for a key legislative proposal that would require states to verify proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. The bill, known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, aims to ensure election integrity by mandating states to obtain proof of citizenship in person when registering voters and to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls.
Rep. Claudia Tenney, co-chair of the House Election Integrity Caucus, emphasized the importance of election integrity, stating that allowing non-citizens to vote undermines the democratic process. She highlighted the significance of each citizen having one vote and called for the protection of the sacred right to vote.
