Bohemia, New York – Amid an unprecedented threat to election integrity from noncitizens voting as a result of the ongoing border crisis, AMAC Action is launching a nationwide campaign to urge Congress to pass H.R. 8281, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.
Since President Joe Biden took office, more than 10 million individuals have unlawfully crossed into the United States. Loopholes in existing state and federal election laws mean that many of these individuals could illegally obtain access to the ballot box and potentially influence the outcome of pivotal elections throughout the country this November.
The SAVE Act, which Speaker Mike Johnson will soon bring to the floor of the House of Representatives, would close these loopholes and install crucial safeguards so that every American can be confident in the security and integrity of their elections. AMAC Action’s campaign will empower our members to demand their elected representatives in Washington quickly pass and implement this urgently needed legislation.
Among other essential provisions, the SAVE Act would:
- Amend the National Voter Registration Act to require states to obtain documentary proof of U.S. citizenship and identity – in person – when registering an individual to vote in a federal election.
- Require states to establish a program to remove non-citizens from their existing voter rolls and give states no-cost access to Department of Homeland Security and Security and Social Security Administration databases.
- Empower citizens to bring civil suits against election officials that fail to uphold proof of citizenship requirements for federal elections.
Importantly, the SAVE Act would provide for all of these changes to be implemented before this November’s elections.
AMAC Action President Bob Carlstrom called the SAVE Act “vitally important to protect the sanctity of our elections, particularly with the influx of people that have entered our country illegally. The SAVE Act ensures that only U.S. citizens may register to vote in our elections, cleans up voter rolls, and introduces critical accountability measures to ensure the law is followed.”
