Alabama
Attorney General Steve Marshall and South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson
are urging Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, arguing that commonsense
election safeguards like proof of citizenship and voter ID are already working
in their states and are supported by a majority of voters.
- Attorney
General Steve Marshall (AL) in Yellowhammer
News:
"Americans want an
election system they can verify, not one they’re simply asked to trust.
They’re demanding clear rules: proof of citizenship at registration, a
valid ID at the polls, and an end to mail-in ballots except in narrowly
defined circumstances. It’s time for Congress to pass the SAVE America
Act.”
- Attorney
General Alan Wilson (SC) in The
Washington Times:
"The SAVE America
Act should not be controversial. "This basic election law would
establish nationwide citizenship verification, strengthen voter roll
maintenance, and require commonsense voter identification to help ensure
that only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections.”
- Both
attorneys general point to their states as proof these reforms work. Alabama has required photo ID to vote since 2011 and
strengthened those requirements in 2019, while South Carolina requires
photo ID to vote and has successfully defended its voter ID law in federal
court.
"Attorney
General Marshall and Attorney General Wilson are making a simple point:
Americans deserve elections they can trust. Alabama and South Carolina have
already proven that voter ID and proof of citizenship requirements are
commonsense. Senate Democrats should stop blocking the SAVE America Act and
pass it now." — Ally Triolo, RNC Election Integrity Communications
