While the Trump campaign, Republican National Committee, Republican governors and Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill work to keep illegal immigrants and non-citizens from voting in U.S. elections, Democrats are fighting against their efforts and threatening to shut down the government over voter integrity legislation.
America needs the SAVE Act to prevent noncitizens from voting.

The arguments against including the SAVE Act in the September spending bill are weak and crumble under examination.

"A conservative-backed push for stricter proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting could complicate efforts to avert a government shutdown next month. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have acknowledged a stopgap of some kind, also known as a continuing resolution (CR), will be necessary to keep the government funded past Sept. 30," The Hill reports. "But calls are growing among House conservatives to use that must-pass measure to force consideration of a partisan bill aimed at barring noncitizens from voting — laying the groundwork for a clash with the Democratic-led Senate, which would likely reject such a package."
The question is, why?
Democrats want illegal aliens to illegally vote because Democrats can’t win elections without cheating or stealing. It’s that simple. https://t.co/8lzkUIR4wW

If you’re convinced that noncitizens don’t vote—against evidence showing that in many cases they have—then what’s the harm in passing the SAVE Act? https://t.co/yW0RIDh4gC

This fall, we’re going to pass the SAVE Act, protect election integrity, and dare Democrats to explain why they think foreigners should be able to vote in America. pic.twitter.com/tJs5BtLHnn

Meanwhile, in Virginia and Texas thousands of illegal immigrants and non-citizens have been removed from voter rolls.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin said his admin’s initiatives have removed close to 80,000 dead voters from the state’s voter rolls last year, removed voters who have moved out of state, and Youngkin has removed more than 6,000 non-citizens from Virginia’s voter rolls. https://t.co/GuNUVFIVIj
