Republicans say Schumer must act on voter proof of citizenship bill if Democrat 'really cares about democracy'
Fox News
Republicans are urging Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer vote on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to prevent noncitizen voting.
Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., co-chair of the House Election Integrity Caucus, spoke to Fox News Digital about this on the sidelines of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wis.

She described election integrity as the "premiere issue" of the 2024 election cycle, noting that only five Democrats voted in favor of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which was introduced by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah. The bill aims to require states to obtain proof of citizenship – in person – when registering an individual to vote and require states to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls.
"Everyone should be talking about the SAVE Act and the fact that 198 Democrats voted for non-citizen voting in our elections," Tenney said. "Nothing interferes more with our elections and our democratic process than to allow people who have not created and given up the responsibilities of citizenship, but are receiving the benefits of citizenship. And I think that's really important. One citizen, one vote."
