<p>The vast majority of House Democrats once again voted against legislation that aims to require individuals to show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in elections for federal office.</p>
<p>On Thursday, 214 Republicans and four Democrats voted for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22/text" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(SAVE) Act</a>, enough for the bill to pass in the House for the second time in two years. Another 208 Democrats and no Republicans voted against it.</p>
<p>&#8220;Every single Democrat that voted against the SAVE Act voted to undermine election integrity and their constituents’ voice,&#8221; House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) told The Daily Wire. &#8220;It is shameful they care more about empowering illegal aliens than American citizens.&#8221;</p>
<p>The bill, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), seeks to &#8220;amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require proof of United States citizenship to register an individual to vote in elections for Federal office.&#8221; It also instructs states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls and establish a process for applicants lacking documentary proof to submit alternative evidence to verify U.S. citizenship.</p>
<p>While some municipalities in states like California, Maryland, and Vermont, along with Washington, D.C., <a href="https://bipartisanpolicy.org/blog/four-things-to-know-about-noncitizen-voting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">permit</a> non-citizens to vote in certain local elections using separate voter rolls, evidence suggests there have been instances of non-citizens appearing on voter rolls for state and federal elections in places where this is prohibited by law.</p>
<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) released a <a href="https://mikejohnson.house.gov/uploadedfiles/save_act_white_paper.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> last year that warned of a National Voter Registration Act “loophole” in which states do not ask for proof of citizenship when registering an individual to vote in federal elections. It also cited evidence of non-citizens getting on voter rolls and, in some instances, illegally casting ballots for U.S. elections.</p>
<p>Critics of Roy&#8217;s bill have argued it is unnecessary and would create an undue burden on legitimate voters — in particular, women.</p>
<p>&#8220;The SAVE Act is yet another bogus attempt by Republicans to suppress the vote — and this time, they’re targeting women,&#8221; Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said in a <a href="https://x.com/RepJasmine/status/1906747100764713203" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> on X, adding the legislation would &#8220;make it damn near impossible for millions of women who changed their last name after marriage to cast a ballot.&#8221;</p>
<p>Roy delivered a retort during an <a href="https://x.com/RepChipRoy/status/1904721299966193741" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> on &#8220;The Will Cain Show&#8221; from Fox News.</p>
<p>&#8220;People in the radical Left are trying to say, &#8216;Oh! This is going to prevent, like, married women from voting because if they get married, their name changes.&#8217; &#8230; It&#8217;s all bogus. It&#8217;s all a lie made up by the radical Left. All this will do is prevent illegals from voting,&#8221; Roy said.</p>
<p><a href="https://x.com/CraigCaplan/status/1910355241658179727" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Four</a> Democrats voted in support of the bill, including Rep. Henry Cuellar (TX), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA), Jared Golden (ME), and Ed Case (HI). Last July, five Democrats <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nearly-all-house-dems-vote-against-bill-requiring-voters-prove-citizenship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">did</a> the same.</p>
<p>The SAVE Act’s latest vote follows broader efforts to tighten voter registration rules, including an executive order <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-signs-historic-executive-order-to-help-secure-u-s-elections" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> by President Donald Trump that threatens to strip federal funds from states that do not require proof of citizenship to register for federal elections.</p>
