Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita and Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird are co-leading a 22-state letter calling on Congress to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (“SAVE”) Act.
This bill would strengthen our electoral process by upholding the rule of law and prohibit individuals who are ineligible to vote like illegal aliens from doing so. Even as Rokitaand Bird demand action on the national level, the American public should find it absurd that such a letter to Congress is needed in order tobolster the very foundation of our country’s system of government – free and fair elections.
“This commonsense piece of legislation is needed to ensure what should be two simple concepts - that our elections are secure and our elections are protected from illegal voters,” Attorney General Rokita said. “With millions of illegal aliens entering the country on President Joe Biden’s watch, it’s imperative that we take these steps to ensure our elections are safe and secure.”
Under the SAVE Act, individuals must provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote. It also will help states identify and remove illegal aliens from their voter registration rolls. With broad support among all Americans and the U.S. House of Representatives passing the bill last week, Attorney General Rokita is demanding the U.S. Senate to take action.
“As Indiana’s former secretary of state, I know that increasing public faith by securing the electoral process is a hallmark of ourdemocracy – a system that is unfortunately and ironically being blocked by members of a political party named for this exact system of representative government,” Attorney General Rokita said.
