House Passes Bill to Mandate Proof of Citizenship to Vote

The House of Representatives has passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, the legislative measure that requires proof of citizenship for anyone who registers to vote in federal elections,  by a vote count of 220-208.

"Sadly, 13 million illegal aliens were welcomed into our country by Joe Biden in the past four years. Several states allow these lawbreakers to obtain a driver’s license, opening the door to opportunities to illegally register to vote in federal elections," Rep. Gosar added.

Moreover, he found it "both laughable and preposterous that the same people who, for the past four years, forced you to carry a vaccine passport to dine in a restaurant, hold a job, or get on a flight are the same people now opposing commonsense legislation requiring individuals to show proof of American citizenship to vote in elections."

After all, "It’s not racist, it’s common sense: prove your citizenship, or you can’t vote.  In fact, an overwhelming majority of Americans agree with me. A recent poll conducted by Pew shows that 90% of Americans say it is very or somewhat important to stop non-citizens from voting.  The fact is, with millions of illegal aliens now in our country, voters are right to be concerned about the integrity of elections."

"By ensuring only United States citizens vote in federal elections, H.R. 22 is a crucial step towards safeguarding our elections.  This commonsense bill offers more than six ways to verify identity, and it would codify President Trump’s recent executive action to secure our voter registration process," Rep. Gosar concluded.

Here's a complete list of Arizona's Representatives who voted for and against the SAVE Act:
