While the SAVE America Act continues to languish in the Senate under the supervision of Republican Leader John Thune, leaders and voters in several states have taken it upon themselves to secure their own elections from noncitizen voting. ...

Florida
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed Florida’s own version of the SAVE Act into law last week. The law, which requires citizenship verification against REAL ID data when registering to vote, will go into effect in January of next year.

Mississippi
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves also signed election integrity legislation into law last week. Named the Safeguard Honesty Integrity in Elections for Lasting Democracy (SHIELD) Act, ...

South Dakota
Ironically, Thune’s own state has moved faster than he has when it comes to ensuring only Americans vote in American elections. Gov. Larry Rhoden signed South Dakota’s SB 175 into law last month. According to SDPB Radio, the legislation “requires anyone registering to vote for the first time in the state to provide proof of citizenship,” like a driver’s license issued after July 1, 2025 (the state recently enacted a law mandating that citizenship status be denoted on driver’s licenses), or a copy of a birth certificate.

DEMAND that worthless sack of $hit be removed from leadership. I never thought it possible to see anyone in that position more worthless and evil than the Turtle, but, by God, I believe he is. EVERY phone call, email, or mailed solicitation for donation to the Republican National Committee needs to have this stipulation written on it before it’s fired back at them.
The problem is that the states doing this aren’t the states where it is most needed.
Georgia already had "proof of citizenship" and photo ID for voting and of course the socialist dems challenged it in court, but it was upheld.
Thune, BTW, is a closet "Never Trumper" and I certainly don't trust the SOB.
Thune is way in over his head.
Bounce that douchebag Thune!
Where’s the version of the SAVE Act from Texas and Governor Abbott?!?
Right? I was just wondering the same.
Where’s the version of the SAVE Act from Texas and Governor Abbott?!?
With that bunch of RINO's in the state legislature, don't hold yer breath.
