LaRose&#8217;s review \u2063uncovered 137 non-citizens on the rolls, \u2063emphasizing the crucial \u2063need \u2064for coordinated\u2062 efforts \u2064to ensure voter eligibility and uphold the state\u200c constitution. He highlights \u200dthe importance of supporting individuals who inadvertently registered improperly to \u200dprevent illegal\u2063 voting outcomes. LaRose also calls for collaboration with the Biden administration\u2062 to leverage various databases for verifying citizenship status, \u2063emphasizing\u2062 the \u200csignificance of safeguarding federal\u2064 elections from non-citizen interference.

He said databases of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration could help him spot other non-citizens that may have been missed.<\/p>\n<p>According to a U.K. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-13413623\/elections-illegal-migrants-washington-dc-chip-roy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daily Mail<\/a> report published Monday, Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas said recent actions by Democratic-run municipalities allowing non-citizens to vote in local elections heighten the need to protect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/shocking-discovery-found-voting-rolls-fourth-populous-county-nation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal elections<\/a>, from which non-citizens are banned.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Do we need more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/4-devastating-consequences-of-the-democrat-for-the-people-act\/\" title=\"4 Devastating Consequences Of The Democrat \u2018For The People Act\u2019\">election security measures<\/a>?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In 2022, for instance, the Democratic-dominated District of Columbia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wusa9.com\/article\/news\/local\/dc\/dc-council-passes-non-citizens-voting-bill-washington\/65-ec15212a-2d97-4f42-ad18-15202fca197e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">passed a measure<\/a> to allow non-citizens to vote for mayor, city council and other local offices. In March, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by residents challenging the law, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/regulation\/court-battles\/4548990-federal-judge-tossed-lawsuit-challenging-d-c-s-nonresident-voting-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe radical progressive Democrats in the D.C. city government couldn\u2019t be prouder of the fact that they\u2019re going to have illegal aliens voting in their elections; yet, they want us to believe that it\u2019s going to stop there, and that none of them are going to try \u2014 or be encouraged \u2014 to illegally vote in federal elections? Give me a break,\u201d Roy told the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans in Congress have proposed the Safeguard American Voter EligibilityAct to require states to do more than have voters sign a paper saying they are citizens. They want states to require proof, which is not required under current law, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/house-gop-eyes-election-safeguards-block-dangerously-high-number-illegal-immigrants-voting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout the verification measures in the SAVE Act, we\u2019re basically asking people who are already breaking the law by coming to the U.S. illegally to abide by the honor system. No way. American elections should belong to American citizens, period,\u201d Roy told the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n<p>When he unveiled the SAVE Act last week, House Speaker Mike Johnson said President Joe Biden\u2019s lax border enforcement has made it necessary, according to Fox.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDue to the wide-open border that the Biden administration has refused to close, in fact, that they engineered to open, we now have so many non-citizens in the country that if only one out of 100 of those voted, they would cast hundreds of thousands of votes,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd since our elections are so razor-thin\u2026 and a few states decide the makeup of Congress and who is elected to the White House, this is a dangerously high number, and it is a great concern to millions and millions of Americans. It could obviously change the outcome of our elections,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStates are not allowed right now to prove if somebody claims on that simple form that they\u2019re a citizen, they can vote. They\u2019re not allowed to prove whether it\u2019s true or not. We all know intuitively that a lot of illegals are voting in federal elections, but it\u2019s not been something that is easily provable,\u201d he said. \u201cWe don\u2019t have that number. This legislation will allow us to do exactly that. It will prevent that from happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee, who is sponsoring the bill in the Senate, published a video on the social media platform X challenging critics of the bill \u2014 and supporters.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The SAVE Act would make it harder for non-citizens to vote in federal elections.<\/p>\n<p>Who exactly would oppose that?<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, *why* would anyone oppose such a bill?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SAVEAct?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SAVEAct<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4LebrzL0Us\">pic.twitter.com\/4LebrzL0Us<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BasedMikeLee\/status\/1788713296645763305?\">May 9, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf the best argument the Democrats can come up with against passing this bill \u2026 is \u2018well, this isn\u2019t happening, we\u2019re not worried about.
