208 Democrats Vote Against Legislation To Keep Noncitizens Out Of Elections
The Federalist ^ | 04/10/2025 | Brianna Lyman

After sitting back for four years while the leader of the Democrat Party allowed millions of illegal aliens to invade the country, 208 Democrats voted against legislation Thursday that would keep foreign nationals out of American elections.

The Republican-led House passed the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act 220-208. The legislation, introduced by Texas Rep. Chip Roy, would require documentary proof of citizenship in order to register to vote.

“Despite the ridiculous attacks and purposeful misinformation spread about the bill, I am pleased to see that the House of Representatives once again passed the SAVE Act on a bipartisan basis to ensure only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections,” Roy said in a statement to The Federalist.

“In order to preserve this republic, we must uphold what it means to be able to vote in a U.S. election,” Roy continued. “I am grateful that my colleagues answered the call and passed the SAVE Act, as this serves as a critical first step to ensure that we maintain election integrity throughout our country. It is now up to the Senate to take up, pass, and send this important bill to President Trump’s desk.”

Four Democrats — Rep. Ed Case (HI); Rep. Henry Cuellar (TX); Rep. Jared Golden (ME); and Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) — voted alongside Republicans to pass the SAVE Act.

Democrat Reps. Vicente Gonzalez Jr. of Texas and Don Davis of North Carolina previously voted in July to pass the SAVE Act but voted in opposition to the legislation on Thursday. The previously legislation passed in July, 221 to 198, after Democrats stated noncitizen voting is already illegal.

But just because noncitizen voting is already illegal doesn’t mean it’s not happening — or that current law does anything to prevent it. Current law prohibiting noncitizens from voting is largely toothless, with prospective voters simply checking a small square box on a federal registration form attesting under penalty of perjury that they are a citizen.

The SAVE Act would amend the 1993 National Voter Registration Act to make documentary proof of citizenship a requirement to register to vote. The legislation would add the additional, necessary layer of protection to keep foreign nationals out of U.S. elections. Under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), states are required to check information about newly registered voters in federal elections against information stored in the state’s motor vehicle administration database. Individuals who do not have a driver’s license identification number can instead provide the last four digits of his Social Security number. But foreign nationals can obtain both of those documents, so neither one really confirms citizenship.

In California, prospective voters who lack both a driver’s license identification number and a Social Security number can instead provide proof of identity — not citizenship — using low-security identification like a gym membership, utility bill, or credit card.

Such a vulnerable system has enabled 11,198 noncitizens to register to vote in Pennsylvania despite, as Democrats have made clear, it being illegal, according to the Washington Times. Oregon’s Secretary of State meanwhile found nine noncitizens who had voted in past elections after discovering “more than 300 noncitizens were erroneously registered to vote,” as reported by The Federalist’s Logan Washburn. Similarly, a Georgia audit found 20 noncitizens registered to vote — nearly half of which cast a ballot in previous elections, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The SAVE Act now heads to the Senate for a vote.

We know the demoncRATS are corrupt. That’s how they stay in office with the illegals voting. They don’t want anything to change. One of the ways they stay in office with the criminals voting for them. Cracking down on illegals voting should make a big difference in the 2026 elections.

TRAITORS.

Not on our side.

Can I make suggestions on the first to be treated to justice?

Maybe not. Someone reading this from outside might get the idea I’m not a sweet natured guy.

I wish Republicans would use these votes against their opponents during the election cycles. But they never do.

All of the campaign commercials are usually glowing portrayals of one candidate or a hodgepodge of issues against the other candidate.

Keep it simple.

“Candidate Jones voted against legislation that would keep noncitizens from voting in our elections. Here’s why it’s bad...”

And this is surprising? A) it’s what Trump wants so it’s automatically evil/racist in their eyes. And B) the whole point of the open borders is to get enough new Democrat voters in country to overwhelm any Republican opposition.

Now if the Republicans can somehow get this through the Senate...

The argument the Dems always float is that any ID to vote is a poll tax if it costs any money at all. So let’s just say for a minute they are correct. This problem can be easily solved by the US government developing, authorizing, and and fully funding a nationwide voter ID for all US citizens. Problem solved!
