Rep. Simpson Votes to Restrict Non-Citizens from Voting in U.S. Elections

WASHINGTON-Today, Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson voted in favor of H.R. 22, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a bill that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

"Only American citizens should decide American elections," said Rep. Simpson. "Over the last four years, the American people watched President Biden and Vice President Harris welcome millions of illegal immigrants into our country. Due to these failed open border policies, Congress must take decisive action to safeguard the integrity of our elections by verifying United States citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. Strengthening current election laws by requiring proof of citizenship is a common-sense solution. I look forward to getting this important bill across the finish line and sending it to President Trump's desk."

The measure was approved with a vote of 220-208.
