View MoreSupporters of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, which passed the House on February 11, 2026, argue that the bill is essential for maintaining the integrity of U.S. elections.
Key reasons cited for passing the act include:
🇺🇸 Preventing Noncitizen Voting: Proponents argue that existing laws are insufficient and that requiring documentary proof of citizenship (such as a passport or birth certificate) at the time of registration is necessary to ensure only eligible citizens vote.
🇺🇸 Restoring Public Confidence: Supporters, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, point to high public support for voter ID and citizenship verification—citing polls showing over 80% of Americans favor such measures—as a way to ensure elections are "free, fair, and safe".
🇺🇸 Establishing a National Standard: The bill aims to formalize a uniform federal requirement for citizenship verification, replacing the current "honor system" where registrants affirm citizenship under penalty of perjury.
🇺🇸 Voter Roll Accuracy: The legislation mandates that states conduct frequent purges of voter rolls to remove ineligible individuals and requires states to share data with the Department of Homeland Security for verification.
🇺🇸 Strengthening Election Security: Advocates believe the act protects federal elections from potential fraud and foreign interference by shifting the responsibility of proof to the individual.
Supporting the Act:
Supporters argue the bill is essential for election integrity by ensuring only U.S. citizens participate in federal elections.
Contact Your Senators: Advocates encourage citizens to call or email their U.S. Senators to urge them to support the bill’s passage. The bill currently faces a potential filibuster in the Senate.
Grassroots Initiatives: Organizations like Project Civica and Tea Party Patriots Action coordinate efforts like "Only Citizens Vote Month" to build public support for the legislation.
Public Advocacy: Supporters often use social media platforms and community forums to highlight the bill's requirements, such as mandatory photo ID and documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration.
