Only one House Dem voted in favor of voter ID, proof of citizenship in US elections

The House of Representatives passed a massive election integrity overhaul bill on Wednesday despite opposition from the vast majority of Democrats.

The House passed Rep. Chip Roy's SAVE America Act, legislation that's aimed at keeping non-citizens from voting in U.S. federal elections. All but one House Democrat — Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas — voted against the bill. It passed 218 to 213.

It is an updated version of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, also led by Roy, R-Texas, which passed the House in April 2025 but was never taken up in the Senate.

Whereas the SAVE Act would create a new federal proof of citizenship mandate in the voter registration process and impose requirements for states to keep their rolls clear of ineligible voters, the updated bill would also require photo ID to vote in any federal elections.

It would also require information-sharing between state election officials and federal authorities in verifying citizenship on current voter rolls and enable the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to pursue immigration cases if non-citizens were found to be listed as eligible to vote.

Democrats have attacked the bill as tantamount to voter suppression, while Republicans argue that it's necessary after the influx of millions of illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. during the four years of the Biden administration.

"If we want to rebuild confidence again in American elections, we need to pass the SAVE Act," Rep. Mike Haridopolos, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital. "What better way to eliminate that distrust than to make sure that whoever votes in an American citizen who is truly eligible to vote?"

Yes, Katherine, women are too stupid to figure this stuff out. It’s even harder for those with hyphenated last names. /sarc

Because if the GOP stuck to its guns like Democrats do, they might actually accomplish something.

And we can’t have THAT.

I do believe that the Old places die. There is a struggle to hang on, but the Good people move on - to somewhere else.

The problem is that there is little of the Earth left. There is no “West” to go to, anymore.

"my REAL ID has a gold star on it indicating US Citizenship".



REAL ID does not differentiate between people born in the U.S. and those born elsewhere. It is designed to verify identity and lawful presence in the United States, not citizenship status.

A REAL ID-compliant card is issued to both U.S. citizens and non-citizens with lawful presence (such as green card holders, visa holders, asylees, or DACA recipients), meaning the card itself does not indicate birthplace or citizenship.

The card’s star symbol only confirms that the license meets federal security standards and can be used for federal purposes like domestic air travel or entering federal facilities.

Proof of U.S. citizenship is required during the application process, but the resulting card does not reflect citizenship. Instead, primary documents like a U.S. passport, Certificate of Naturalization, or birth certificate are what definitively prove citizenship.
