The House of Representatives on Thursday approved the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act 220-208.
Four House Democrats broke ranks and joined 216 Republicans to pass the election integrity measure, while 208 Democrats voted against it. The four Democrats who sided with the GOP were Reps. Jared Golden of Maine, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington state, Henry Cuellar of Texas, and Ed Case of Hawaii.
The SAVE Act is designed to help reduce voter fraud by prohibiting states from registering individuals to vote in federal elections unless they first prove that they are American citizens with approved documentation. It also makes it a crime to register someone who does not provide proof of American citizenship, and it orders states to remove noncitizens from their official lists of eligible voters.
