Congressman Abe Hamadeh Introduces Bill to Codify President Trump’s Integrity of American Elections Executive Order

WASHINGTON DC - Congressman Abe Hamadeh (AZ-08) promised the voters in Congressional District 8 that he would take swift action to increase confidence in our nation's elections. On Monday, Congressman Hamadeh continued to build on that promise by introducing legislation, co-sponsored by Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24), Chair of the Congressional Election integrity Caucus, to support and codify President Donald Trump's election integrity agenda.

"In Arizona, we have seen what the mismanagement of voter rolls, failed election infrastructure, and corrupt courts can do to destroy voter confidence and faith in our system overall. We are taking swift action to rebuild citizens' trust in our elections through comprehensive and meaningful election integrity legislation," said Congressman Hamadeh.

"As Chair of the Election Integrity Caucus, I am thrilled to see President Trump sign an Executive Order aimed at securing our elections and restoring confidence in our democratic process. This Executive Order removes illegal immigrants from voter rolls, mandates proof of citizenship for voter registration and revokes the Biden administration's unconstitutional Executive Order 14019. It is crucial that President Trump's EO be codified into law to ensure its full effect. President Trump and the Election Integrity Caucus are committed to ensuring our elections remain free, fair, and secure," said Congresswoman Tenney.

By codifying President Trump's Executive Order 14248, entitled Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections, Congressman Hamadeh's bill would make law an extensive list of necessary measures including government-issued proof of U.S. citizenship, security standards for voting equipment, enforcement of the voter-list maintenance, requiring voter-verifiable paper ballots, and prosecuting non-citizen voting and related crimes.
