Dear Friend,
You would think that everyone – Republicans, Democrats, and Independents – could get behind safeguards that ensure only American citizens vote in American elections.
Unfortunately, you would be wrong.
Despite numerous studies showing that noncitizens are voting in U.S. elections and despite over 70% of Americans opposing noncitizen voting, 198 House Democrats voted against legislation this week that would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. You can view the vote here.
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act – or SAVE Act for short – is very simple. It requires states to obtain proof of citizenship when registering an individual to vote. It also requires states to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls.
How does this get accomplished?
The SAVE Act allows states to accept a wide variety of documents ranging from a U.S. passport, REAL ID if it indicates the applicant is a citizen, a valid government-issued photo ID with a birth certificate, a U.S. hospital Record of Birth Naturalization Certificate, among other things. You can read more about the bill here .
Now, many of you might say: isn’t this already law?
The truth is it’s not.
The National Voter Registration Act relies on individuals simply checking a box attesting that they are U.S. citizens and eligible to vote. With many illegal aliens being eligible to obtain driver’s licenses in some states as well as Social Security numbers, it’s important now more than ever to require proof of citizenship before providing applicants with voter registration forms – especially given the over 10 million illegal aliens Joe Biden has let into our country.
That’s why House Republicans took action this week to implement safeguards ensuring only Americans vote in the upcoming election.
Yet, despite this commonsense bill passing with bipartisan support, President Biden opposes it .
It is evident that Democrats are relying on illegal immigrants to become future voters. This strategy became clear when Joe Biden initiated his illegal alien Voter Importation Program (VIP) by opening our borders on January 20, 2021.
Thanks again for starting off your weekend with us! We hope you enjoy this week’s edition of the Tiffany Telegram. We will be back in two weeks with more.
