Chip Roy and Sen.Mike lee. The act, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/social-security-expansion-passes-senate-heads-to-bidens-desk-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Social Security expansion passes Senate, heads to Biden&#039;s desk - Washington Examiner\">wich received bipartisan support<\/a>, aims to secure voting by requiring documentary proof of citizenship for federal elections.Critics,including Hillary Clinton,claim it could disenfranchise married women and individuals who change their names. however, proponents assert that the act will not affect those who have already registered under their current names. Furthermore, it includes provisions for those needing to update their documentation. Roy argues that the act addresses the real issue of noncitizen voting, highlighting various instances of illegal voting. He urges the Senate to pass the bill, emphasizing the importance of protecting electoral integrity for American citizens.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Last week, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 22, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which I proudly co-authored with my friend, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah. The SAVE Act passed the House on a bipartisan basis, an inconvenient fact for Democrat leaders&rsquo; chosen narrative attacking it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most absurd narrative <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/HillaryClinton\/status\/1910394674055119300\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">peddled<\/a> from the left, including twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, is that the SAVE Act will somehow disenfranchise married women, or anyone else who has changed his or her name, from voting in federal elections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nothing could be further from the truth. The SAVE Act secures all Americans&rsquo; votes by ensuring noncitizens do not vote in federal elections, effectively canceling out the votes of citizens, including married women.<\/p>\n<p>The SAVE Act, a common-sense proposal widely supported by the American people, simply amends the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) to require documentary proof of citizenship to register individuals to vote in federal elections.<\/p>\n<p>Those opposed to the SAVE Act have hurled wild accusations against the bill, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/VoteRiders\/status\/1910059752576749740\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">comparing<\/a> it to a &ldquo;poll tax&rdquo; or &ldquo;Jim Crow 2.0.&rdquo; This is nothing new; virtually every state that has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fla-legislature-passes-election-strengthening-bill-gov-desantis-says-hell-sign\/\" title=\"Fla. Legislature passes election strengthening bill, Gov. DeSantis says he\u2019ll sign\">passed election integrity laws<\/a> has faced backlash from left-wing Democrats decrying the measures as racist. This ignores the fact that, for <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/24\/georgia-sees-record-early-voter-turnout-despite-dems-carping-over-new-election-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">example<\/a>, in Georgia, voting increased after the state implemented voter integrity measures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The left loves nothing more than <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">invoking tiresome rhetorical tactics involving race<\/a> or sex to stir up controversy against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-pass-bill-critics-say-defunds-police-and-reject-proposal-to-condemn-calls-to-abolish-police\/\" title=\"... Pass Bill Critics Say Defunds Police And Reject Proposal To Condemn Calls To \u2018Abolish\u2019 Police\">common-sense proposals<\/a>. But Clinton&rsquo;s argument that the SAVE Act will disenfranchise married women is not grounded in reality, and here&rsquo;s why.<\/p>\n<p>First, married women who have changed their name and already registered to vote &mdash; millions, mind you &mdash; are utterly unaffected by the SAVE Act. The so-called &ldquo;69 million married women&rdquo; figure is a statistical sleight of hand meant to purposefully ignite fear and conveniently glosses over this critical fact. As my friend Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., rightly <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RepKatCammack\/status\/1910333654238110069\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pointed out<\/a> during the House floor debate, this is a non-issue for those women, rendering the panic-peddling not just misleading but outright false.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Second, for individuals who have changed their name and already updated their documentary proof of citizenship to reflect this, no action is needed, and they can register to vote.<\/p>\n<p>For the small fraction of individuals who have not updated their documentation to reflect a name change &mdash; though most do so quickly for general life purposes such as an I-9 form for employment, passport to travel, and Social Security card for taxes &mdash; the SAVE Act <em>explicitly <\/em>directs states to establish a process allowing them to register to vote despite a name discrepancy. The SAVE Act specifically left this to the states because name-change procedures are governed by state law, and the specific requirements, forms, fees, and processes can vary from state to state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No one will be unable to vote because of a name change.<\/p>\n<p>The truth? Democrats want noncitizens to vote in America&rsquo;s elections. <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Laws_permitting_noncitizens_to_vote_in_the_United_States%23Details_about_noncitizen_voting_in_local_elections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Municipalities<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sf.gov\/non-citizen-voting-rights-local-board-education-elections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">California<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/marylandmatters.org\/2024\/11\/14\/edmonston-becomes-latest-maryland-municipality-to-let-noncitizens-vote-in-local-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maryland<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/noncitizen-voting-vermont-14fe60b60de5486030acd0bf48321766\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vermont<\/a> allow noncitizens to vote in local elections.

House Republicans are making necessary changes to the NVRA. Without it, states will continue to be barred from securing their elections. The Senate must do its job, take up, pass, and send H.R. 22 to President Trump for approval. Fair and free elections are the bedrock of our nation. We have a duty to secure American elections for American citizens, including for married women, whom the left shamefully and falsely claims this disenfranchises.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Chip Roy is the Republican representative for the 21st congressional district in Texas.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House passed H.R. 22, the SAVE Act, co-authored by me and Sen.
