I know many Americans are worried about the deep divisions in our country today. There is one important issue that does unite us—the need to guarantee the integrity of our elections by ensuring that only U.S. citizens are voting. That’s why 83% of Americans support voter ID laws.
That strong support comes from 95% of Republicans, 84% of Independents, 82% of Hispanics, 76% of Blacks, and even 71% of Democrats. Yet, in spite of this overwhelming support, even among their own voters, Democrats in Congress continue to do everything they can to prevent this simple election integrity reform.
Yesterday, the House of Representatives debated the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, known as the SAVE America Act. It’s a simple commonsense proposal—you must prove you are an American citizen when you register to vote, and you must show a valid photo ID when you vote.
Who could be against that? Well, as it turns out, virtually every Democrat in Congress.
