Biggs Demands Transparency on Illegals Voting in Elections

The passage of the SAVE Act in the House has prompted discussion on the extent of illegal aliens voting in American elections. Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) teamed up in a recent letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding answers on how the Department of Justice has worked to prevent illegal aliens from voting, as "There is no publicly available information to suggest that the Department of Justice is investigating or bringing cases against aliens who violate federal election law."

Rep. Biggs' letter cites instances where noncitizens were seemingly registered to vote or present on voter rolls. In May, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster (R-SC) called for an investigation into claims that illegal aliens were given voter registration forms, and Ohio cleared 137 foreign nationals from their voter rolls that same month.

The Arizona Congressman also cited a Georgia incident in 2022 where their Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, found that approximately 1600 illegal aliens attempted to register to vote.

"These reports are especially concerning given the record-shattering number of illegal aliens entering the United States and certain state and local laws that permit aliens to vote in local elections," Rep. Biggs continued, asking if the DOJ has taken steps to prevent illegals from voting.

"Now more than ever it is imperative to ensure that American citizens can have confidence in the security of our elections. Upwards of 10 million illegal aliens have been released into our country through our porous borders during Joe Biden's presidency. Americans should not have to be concerned that their voices will be drowned out by the voices of illegal aliens when electing officials for political offices. I'm grateful to Senator Hagerty for leading this effort in the Senate and to my colleagues who understand the significance of this oversight," said Biggs in his press release.

Numerous Congressional Republicans, including Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Senator Rick Scott (R-FL), were among the letter's cosigners.
