Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – "The fact that we even need this legislation proves just how far Democrats have gone in opening our elections to abuse. House Republicans are taking a stand to restore trust, secure our elections, and stop foreign interference," said Congressman Brian Babin (TX-36,) after having voted in favor of H.R. 22, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or "SAVE Act" that was introduced and sponsored by Babin's fellow Texas Congressman Chip Roy.
This legislation ensures that only U.S. Citizens can vote in Federal Elections.
"Meanwhile, Democrats are resorting to outright lies.
"The SAVE Act protects every legal vote and safeguards our elections against fraud. Opposing it is a vote against common sense. This shouldn’t be a partisan issue—it’s not about red or blue, but red, white, and blue," said Congressman Babin.
Said Cong. Roy (right, TX-21) following House passage of his bill, H.R. 22:"Despite the ridiculous attacks and purposeful misinformation spread about the bill, I am pleased to see that the House of Representatives once again passed the SAVE Act on a bipartisan basis, to ensure only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections.
"In order to preserve this republic, we must uphold what it means to be able to vote in a U.S. election. This serves as a critical first step to ensure that we maintain election integrity throughout our country.
:It is now up to the Senate to take up, pass, and send this important bill to President Trump’s desk," said Cong. Roy.

The SAVE Act:
- Protects the ballot box by ensuring only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections.
- Restores integrity by implementing simple safeguards to prevent non-citizen voting.
- Codifies President Trump’s executive action to secure voter registration.
- Offers multiple ways to verify identity, ensuring every American can cast their vote.
The passage of the SAVE Act is a major step toward restoring confidence in our democratic process.
