Several Republican lawmakers have introduced and supported legislation aimed at ensuring that only American citizens can vote in U.S. elections. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith and Senator Bill Hagerty introduced the Equal Representation Act, which aims to stop counting noncitizens in elections. Representative Chuck Edwards, along with Representative Warren Davidson, also supports this act, emphasizing that the current system rewards states welcoming illegal immigrants by giving them more seats in the House. The House recently passed H.R. 7109, the Equal Representation Act, which requires the citizenship question to be reinstated on the decennial census. Representative Mike Collins is a cosponsor of the ACE Act, which aims to safeguard elections by making it easier for states to verify citizenship with REAL ID. Additionally, Representative Chip Roy and Senator Mike Lee introduced the SAVE Act to protect the right to vote for American citizens. Representative Claudia Tenney has introduced a constitutional amendment to ban illegal immigrants from voting in local, state, and federal elections. Representative Troy Nehls criticized Democrats for not supporting these measures, and Representative Ashley Hinson emphasized that only American citizens should receive representation in Congress. Hans von Spakovsky from Heritage also echoed the sentiment that noncitizens should not be voting in American elections.
Voting is one of the most sacred rights we have as American citizens. That's why I introduced a constitutional amendment to ban illegal immigrants from voting in our local, state, and federal elections! https://t.co/ihFl7wMWo9
Only American citizens should receive representation in Congress - not illegal immigrants. https://t.co/1QWTOpW5Br
Noncitizens should not be voting in American elections. End of story. @HvonSpakovsky https://t.co/zwVBKHK9jf
ICYMI: The House recently passed H.R. 7109, the Equal Representation Act. My bill would require the citizenship question to be reinstated on the decennial census so that only American citizens have a say in their representation and direction of our country. https://t.co/qtxgI4rtDQ
One U.S. Citizen = One Vote I encourage my friends across the aisle to join me in supporting @RepChipRoy and @SenMikeLee's SAVE Act to protect the fundamental freedom granted to American citizens – the right to vote. https://t.co/t9e3XZkxzb
Absolutely absurd. Only American citizens should have a say in the outcome of U.S. elections. I am proud to be a cosponsor of the ACE Act. This bill helps to safeguard our elections by making it easier for states to verify citizenship with REAL ID. https://t.co/qgA0HqdiVI
🚩 Our current system rewards states that welcome illegal immigrants by giving them more seats in the House while drowning out the voice of Americans. @Rep_Davidson, @SenatorHagerty and I introduced the Equal Representation Act to make sure that American citizens don’t lose… https://t.co/CyjZNoLA3H
“It's sad that we have to take those types of actions here in Congress. But if you're not a U.S. citizen, you should not be allowed to vote in our elections. But the Democrats, they don't care.” -@RepTroyNehls https://t.co/OrJxdZ6quK
I joined @SenatorHagerty's Equal Representation Act to stop counting NONCITIZENS in our elections. Senate Democrats clearly have a problem with that. Wonder why would that be? https://t.co/1s1aA3Mwry
