Today, the House of Representatives pushed forward legislation intended to bolster the integrity of U.S. federal elections. The bill, known as H.R. 22 or the SAVE Act, aims to ensure that only U.S. citizens participate in federal electoral processes.

Congressman Brian Babin of Texas, who pledged support for the bill, stated: "The fact that we even need this legislation proves just how far Democrats have gone in opening our elections to abuse." He emphasized the importance of the bill in restoring trust in the electoral process and preventing foreign interference. Babin indicated that Democrats are spreading misinformation, but asserted that "the SAVE Act protects every legal vote and safeguards our elections against fraud." He argued it should transcend partisan lines, highlighting it as "not about red or blue, but red, white, and blue.”

The SAVE Act proposes several measures aimed at election security. It emphasizes that only U.S. citizens should be allowed to vote in federal elections and introduces safeguards to prevent non-citizen participation. The act also seeks to codify previous executive actions related to voter registration and proposes multiple identity verification methods.

House Republicans, alongside former President Trump, have backed this initiative as a way to make elections more secure and free from foreign influence. This legislation is portrayed as a significant move toward rebuilding trust in the democratic system.
