Later this week, the country will be given the opportunity to see the legislative front of the American left. Of course, I’m talking about Congressional Democrats.
I’ll be considering the house on Thursday HR 22the American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. The bill requires state officials to obtain evidence of citizenship before registering anyone to vote.
Additionally, the bill provides state access to federal databases to allow states to clean voter roles by eliminating non-citizens who have been inappropriately registered to vote.
Believe it or not is a legal requirement that you are a US citizen to vote or register for a vote, but there is currently no legal requirement that voters actually provide evidence of citizenship before they are permitted to register.
The only requirement is to become a voter. Check the box on the formand sign a form that proves that he or she is a citizen.

Similar bills I passed the house It was quickly ignored last year by the Democratic-controlled Senate.
The majority of the Democratic Party in Congress, I oppose this common-sense reform.
The good news is that the Senate is currently controlled by Republicans, so if the bill passes the House later this week, Senate leaders can begin the process of bringing it to the Senate floor. To bring the bill to the floor, you will need at least seven Democrats votes to overcome the filibuster.
Last year, the actions of my organization, Tea Party Patriot, were commissioned to investigate by John McLaughlin, one of President Trump’s pollers. Survey of 1,000 general election voters He showed strong support for the idea that only citizens should vote in US elections. 87% agreed that “evidence of US citizenship is required to register to vote in American elections.” 86% agreed that “we should be allowed to vote in elections for the president, senator and representative.” 83% agreed that “evidence of American citizenship must be voted in the US election.”
Clearly there is strong public support for legislation to ensure that only citizens can register to vote in US elections.
However, the left opposes this common sense bill. According to the Council on Practices on “more than 240 national organizations,” the bill was “in the “Personality and Human Rights Leadership.”A shameful, divisive attempt To prevent millions of US citizens…prevent them from registering for the vote. ”
No, it’s not. The left has literally argued for decades that it leads to attempts to effectively strengthen election integrity. Disenfranchised Voters – usually voters of color. However, the real example shows the exact opposite.
Remember, for example, the efforts of 2021 to strengthen Georgia’s election infrastructure, and the left claimed that these efforts would result in fewer people voting in future elections. Remember how Stacey Abrams, the 2018 and 2022 Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate, calls those efforts.Jim Crow in a suit? “And remember how voters vote in Georgia in the 2022 midterm elections after the new law is enacted.Shattered voter turnout and participation rateAccording to a 2023 survey by the US Census Bureau?
In fact, what the left wants is even worse. Not only did the left oppose efforts to strengthen election integrity, but the left wing actually promoted the registration of illegal aliens.
For example, when Democrats last controlled the House, their biggest legislative priorities were bills that would make election management federal, overturn state-level laws, and ensure the integrity of elections. 2021″Act for people” – recognized by the House Democrats’ designation as “HR 1” as a top priority – Section 1012 required states to automatically register all individuals in a database of a particular state, regardless of their citizenship status. A criminal offence filed against anyone who believed that the prosecutor “absorbed” his efforts to register a particular individual, regardless of the individual’s citizenship status.
When the House voted for the bill, All Democrats except one I voted for that.
And when the bill went to the Senate, Senate Democrats were determined to pass it, so they were willing to blow up Senate rules by abolishing the filibuster. The bill was defeated as two Democrats, Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema, were committed to maintaining the Senate system rather than advancing the party’s political agenda. The frustration on the left, manchin, cinema Refusing to vote to abolish the filibusterand the bill died.
Americans want to know that their elections are safe. They want to know that votes are counted, and that their votes are not diluted by votes cast by people who have no right to vote in US elections.
Republicans will vote for the SAVE Act this week to honor the public’s desire to strengthen election integrity by adding a documentary requirement for citizenship before voters register. Democrats oppose this – and America will see who Democrats are on.
