House to Senate: SAVE America is a Must-Pass Piece of Legislation

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) applauds the House, under the leadership of Speaker Mike Johnson, for designating the SAVE America Act as a must-pass piece of legislation by merging it with the State Department appropriations package that will be sent to the Senate.

“The Department of Homeland Security designates election infrastructure as critical infrastructure, and this is not by accident,” said Ken Blackwell, chair for Election Integrity at AFPI. “This is because election security is national security. The American people deserve to know that their votes are protected, and that lawmakers are implementing policies to protect their votes.”

The SAVE America Act puts policy behind the basic American principle that American elections belong to Americans—not to foreign nationals or those who have no stake in our Nation’s future. Requiring proof of citizenship to vote and securing our elections is not a partisan issue; this is an American issue. The Senate now has an opportunity to pass the SAVE America Act and protect the rights of our citizens.
