House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson and co-introduced by Rep. Chip Roy and Sen. Mike Lee, have introduced the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, aimed at preventing non-citizens from voting in federal elections. This legislation would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, requiring individuals to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a REAL ID or passport, when registering to vote. The bill has sparked debate, with Democrats opposing the bill and arguing that it's unnecessary since non-citizen voting is already illegal and accusing Republicans of stoking election integrity fears without evidence.

The SAVE Act would make it harder for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. Who exactly would oppose that? More importantly, *why* would anyone oppose such a bill? #SAVEAct https://t.co/4LebrzL0Us

The only influence illegal immigrants should have in US elections is to motivate American citizens to vote out the politicians who let them in. The House passed @RepChuckEdwards' legislation to ensure only American citizens are counted in the census for electoral apportionment. https://t.co/lERjDLJBaX
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or SAVE Act, would amend a law from 1993 to make people provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote. https://t.co/cinoh58LNH
Yesterday, House Democrats voted to dilute your vote by voting against the Equal Representation Act. Only U.S. Citizens should count for congressional districts and the Electoral College apportionment. https://t.co/1Aa6ZsPBPD
“There is currently an unprecedented and a clear and present danger to the integrity of our election system,” Mr. Johnson said Wednesday. “And that is the threat of noncitizens and illegal aliens voting in our elections.” https://t.co/cinoh58LNH
Please explain your reasoning if you think non-citizens should be allowed to vote. Please like and repost if you agree that they shouldn’t. #PassTheSAVEAct
If you can make a good argument against the SAVE Act—which would stop non-citizens from voting in federal elections—please do so below. Citizens should vote. Non-citizens should not. For federal elections, states should verify citizenship before registering anyone to vote.
GOP leaders at the state and federal level are pushing measures to ban noncitizen voting even though it is already illegal in nearly all cases. https://t.co/PbYDYxd8g4
Republicans pass U.S. Census reform bill. Bill stops counting Illegals and ends the practice of giving extra congressional seats (and thus electoral votes) to blue states. https://t.co/2k1lSpBjFa
Mike Johnson claims Republicans are doing "important work" by introducing a bill to ban non-citizens from voting in federal elections even though it's already illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections https://t.co/qcfPuscnje
This shouldn’t even be a question. Only US citizens should vote in federal elections. Glad to be an original cosponsor @chiproytx @BasedMikeLee https://t.co/J1klpYSO5V
Democrats vote unanimously for U.S. Census to continue counting non-citizens, which gives more congressional seats and thus more electoral college votes to Blue States. Trump tried to end this practice, but he was stopped by the courts. https://t.co/DqV4ytBXM8
This isn’t complicated. Only Americans should vote in American elections. Non-citizens are not Americans. Non-citizens should not be allowed to vote in American elections.

“The [SAVE Act] would amend the National Voter Registration Act. A person would need to produce an ID consistent with the requirements of REAL ID, a passport … or another stipulated form of identification in order to vote in a federal election.” https://t.co/ScAz0S1za0
The SAVE Act would ensure that only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections. This shouldn’t be controversial. It didn’t used to be in doubt. It is now. Please help me protect the sanctity of your vote. Tell your members of Congress to cosponsor the SAVE Act today. https://t.co/mXgOLPyMe1
The measure would direct the Census Bureau to add a question to the 10-year survey asking for the respondent’s citizenship status and require that the U.S. only consider citizens when determining the number of congressional seats each state receives. https://t.co/F9kqPkBPEj

Members of Congress represent American citizens. Congressional districts should be drawn by counting American citizens. Sadly, we must change the law to make that happen. All Democrats voted NO. All Republicans voted YES - #CitizenshipMatters. https://t.co/0nfhC6CNhy

House Republicans are looking to prevent a “dangerously high number” of illegal immigrants from voting. @chiproytx and @VDHanson will join us TONIGHT at 9pm ET for more!
Republicans put forth a bill tonight to undermine equal representation by adding a discriminatory 'citizenship question' to the Census. Their plan would result in underreporting across immigrant communities & make it more difficult to fairly allocate federal funding. I voted NO!
Adding a citizenship question to the census is an attempt to disempower immigrant communities by undercounting noncitizens and scaring others into not completing the survey. A citizenship question is also unconstitutional. Which is why SCOTUS blocked Trump’s attempt to add one.
Pass the SAVE Act so illegal aliens can’t vote in American elections. Pass the VALID Act so that illegal aliens can’t fly across the country with no ID. https://t.co/6xll3K6l0s
Illegal aliens should have ZERO influence in our electoral process. You don't get to come to our country, break our laws, and then be included in congressional apportionment. That's why I cosponsored the Equal Representation Act, which the House will vote on tonight.
FACT: It is already illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. This latest stunt by MAGA extremists is yet another attempt to fan the flames of election denial and sow doubt in the minds of voters about the integrity of our elections. https://t.co/FjQpDgRD3P
