Just Four Dems Vote To Keep Non-Citizens Out Of US Elections

Four Democrats joined House Republicans to pass legislation Thursday that calls for stricter regulations to ensure only U.S. citizens are participating in federal elections.


The House of Representatives voted 220 to 208 in favor of the H.R. 22, more popularly known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. The bill would require states to obtain proof of citizenship prior to registering an individual for any federal election and also requires state officials to remove all non-citizens from existing voter rolls.

Democratic Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Ed Case of Hawaii were the only Democrats to vote in favor of the bill.

“The SAVE Act is a crucial step to ensure only American citizens vote in American elections — without exception,” GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson said to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “I’m proud to stand with President Trump and my Republican colleagues to defend the integrity of our elections and put Americans first.”
