Email from Rep. Miller-Meeks Miller-Meeks Weekly Script March 30th, 2025 WEEKLY SC℞IPT View as Webpage Rep. Miller-Meeks: Safeguarding American Elections America’s elections should be decided by American citizens—period. Yet under the weak progressive policies of the Biden Administration and Democrats, our voter rolls are vulnerable to illegal immigrants and non-citizens. That’s why I proudly joined Rep. Chip Roy in supporting the SAVE Act, a commonsense bill that strengthens election integrity by requiring proof of citizenship before registering to vote in federal elections. The principle is simple: if you are not a U.S. citizen, you should not be voting in federal elections. But for years, Democrats have resisted efforts to secure our federal elections, leaving loopholes that allow non-citizens to cast ballots which erodes public trust in the system. They claim voter ID laws are unnecessary, yet they have no problem requiring identification for everyday activities like boarding a plane or purchasing cold medicine. The hypocrisy is astounding. The SAVE Act takes a crucial step toward restoring faith in our elections by mandating states verify proof of citizenship before registering voters. It also requires states to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls, ensuring that only eligible American voters are deciding our future. In Iowa, election integrity laws have been met with increased voter turnout, not less. This issue is more urgent than ever. The Biden administration’s failed border policies have allowed millions of illegal immigrants to pour into our country, and without proper safeguards, our election system is at risk. The American people deserve secure elections—elections that are free, fair, and determined by those who have a stake in our nation's future. Last Congress, this bill passed the House with bipartisan support, only to be blocked by Senate Democrats. But with President Trump back in the White House, we now have the opportunity to make real election security reforms a reality. House Republicans are committed to ensuring this vital legislation reaches his desk and is signed into law. Protecting the sanctity of our elections should not be a partisan issue. The right to vote is a privilege of citizenship, and it must be safeguarded at all costs. I will continue fighting for strong election integrity measures, because every legal vote must count—and only legal votes should count. The Weekly Wrap The Weekly Wrap from Washington DC!
