Today in Washington, D.C., Congressman Tom Cole expressed his support for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. The legislation aims to tighten voting requirements in federal elections by mandating proof of citizenship during voter registration and eliminating non-citizens from voting rolls.
Congressman Cole stated, "As a result of the previous Administration's radical open-border policies and lax voter registration laws, more illegal immigrants than ever have the opportunity to vote in federal elections across our nation. It is crucial to the future of America that we do not let this happen – and the SAVE Act does just that." Cole emphasized the importance of the Act in protecting the integrity of elections and preventing non-citizens from impacting election outcomes.
The statement was released following Cole's vote in favor of the Act, highlighting his hopes for its eventual passage into law. "I am proud to have voted in favor of the SAVE Act today, and I hope to see it become law," he added.
The proposed bill has sparked discussion on voter registration practices, citizenship verification, and election security.
