After the House passed the SAVE Act by a final vote of 221-198, Tenney told News , “I think what it does is it just puts an exclamation point on the fact that the states are the ones that have been in power to control the laws and that the states need to ensure that we have citizens only voting in elections so that we’re we’re solidifying the concept of one citizen, one vote.”
Just five Democrats, including Texas Representatives Henry Cuellar (D) and Vicente Gonzalez (D) and Jared Golden (D) voted in favor of the bill.
Nothing is more fundamental or precious than the ability to vote, particularly when it comes to maintaining our democracy and self-governing constitutional republic. Additionally, Tenney, the head of the House Election Integrity Caucus, told News that “the Democrats can keep talking about democracy, but nothing undermines the values of each individual’s right to vote or allowing non-citizens to vote.”
