Reporter's Notebook: No proof of citizenship? No vote
Fox News
Many Congressmen are worried that a growing number of people in the U.S. could illegally vote in upcoming elections, Democrats in Congress are pushing back.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., convened a conference call Wednesday with House GOPers, just days before the House returns to session for the first time since late July. Johnson advocated that the House adopt an interim spending bill running into the first quarter of next year to avert a government shutdown on Oct. 1. But House Republicans will attach the so-called SAVE Act to the bill. That’s short for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act. It’s legislation the House adopted in July, requiring people to show proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.
