Senator Mike Lee from Utah announced that the SAVE America Act has garnered support from 50 sponsors, indicating that the bill has sufficient backing to move forward in the Senate after its passage in the House of Representatives.
“We’ve got 49 Senate sponsors of the SAVE America Act and at least one more—Senator Collins—who supports it, and that takes us to 50!” Lee wrote in a post on X. “We now have enough votes to pass a motion to proceed to the House-passed bill—even without any additional votes—with @VP breaking the tie.”
In a video update, Lee addressed the question, “What comes next?” now that the Senate has secured enough votes to advance the House-approved version of the SAVE America Act. He urged supporters to rally behind the cause, emphasizing the importance of enforcing the Talking Filibuster in the Senate. “If Senators wish to engage in debate or Filibuster, let them earn it,” he stated.
Alana Mastrangelo from Breitbart News highlighted that the House successfully passed the SAVE America Act with a narrow margin of 218 to 213. The legislation aims to prevent non-citizens from voting in U.S. federal elections, with only one Democrat crossing party lines to support it.
On Truth Social, former President Donald Trump weighed in, arguing that the lack of voter ID is “even crazier, and more ridiculous, than Men playing in Women’s Sports,” or the issue of open borders.
Breitbart News’s Alana Mastrangelo reported that the House of Representatives passed the SAVE America Act, “which seeks to keep non-citizens from voting” in federal elections in the United States — passed 218 to 213 — with only one House Democrat voting in favor:
The only House Democrat who did not vote against the election integrity initiative was Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX).
The bill is an updated version of the initial Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which was never taken up in the Senate after being passed by the House in April last year.
In addition to requiring photo ID to vote in federal elections, the new version of the legislation also aims to establish a federal proof of citizenship requirement in the voter registration process, as well as mandate that states maintain voter rolls purged of ineligible individuals.
In a post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump stated that not having voter ID “is even crazier, and more ridiculous, than Men playing in Women’s Sports,” or having open borders.
“We cannot let the Democrats get away with NO VOTER I.D. any longer,” Trump wrote. “These are horrible, disingenuous CHEATERS. They have all sorts of reasons why it shouldn’t be passed, and then boldly laugh in the backrooms after their ridiculous presentations. If it weren’t such a serious matter, it would be considered a TOTAL JOKE! No Voter I.D. is even crazier, and more ridiculous, than Men playing in Women’s Sports, Open Borders, or Transgender for Everyone.”
In another post, Trump vowed that there would “be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!”
