Friend,   The Senate is still on vacation. They had left town without a deal to pay TSA workers at our airports. And they still haven’t passed common sense election reform called the SAVE America Act. With the Senate coming back to work in a few days, the time for delays is over. Tell your Senators to get to work! Inaction on voter integrity is particularly frustrating, since 71% of Americans back the SAVE America Act. In our polarized country, it’s hard for any legislation to get that level of support.   We NEED strong voter ID in this country.   Consider the irony: an election judge in northern Minnesota pleaded guilty recently to accepting the vote of an unregistered voter during the 2024 election.   That single vote may not seem like much, but stories like this surface regularly. And they rightly have Americans concerned about election integrity. Especially because Minnesota is one of 14 states that don’t require identification in order to vote.    That’s why we need the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act to ensure only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote.    Voting is a fundamental privilege reserved for American citizens and no one else. Securing our elections requires safeguarding every part of the process—from registration, to casting ballots, to counting them honestly. There are already federal and state laws that restrict voting to U.S. citizens, but loopholes in the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) have weakened enforcement.   There is currently no federal mandate for states to verify proof of citizenship, and erroneous activist interpretations of the NVRA have blocked states from requiring it during voter registration.   Why not just rely only on driver’s licenses? The reason is simple: many states issue driver's licenses and identification cards to non-citizens, increasing the risk of these documents being misused to vote illegally in federal elections.   The SAVE America Act (H.R. 7296 / House Amendment to S. 1383), introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) and passed by the House in February, closes the gaps in the NVRA. It requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship before a person can register to vote. It also mandates photo identification in order to cast a ballot in federal elections. Together, these common-sense requirements will protect the entire election process from start to finish.   The right to vote is one of the most sacred privileges of American citizenship. But we must ensure it is only U.S. citizens who vote. Senate Republicans must be prepared to do the hard work that needs to be done—including enforcing a talking filibuster if necessary—to bring this bill to the floor for a vote and pass it.   Go to the CatholicVote Action Center today and contact your Senators before they get back from their recess. Leave a message urging them to pass the SAVE America Act immediately and prevent our elections from being swayed by illegal voting.   God Save America,   Josh Mercer Vice President of Advocacy Paid for by CatholicVote Civic Action, a 501(c)(4) organization, PO Box 3310, Carmel, IN 46082 (317) 669-6127 Unsubscribe Manage preferences
