Chip Roy Targets Non-Citizen Voting, Advocates SAVE Act for Election Integrity
Clear Facts
- Republican Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) has recently stated that there is “repeated evidence” of non-citizens, both legal and illegal, participating in voting.
- Roy asserted that the current system, largely due to the Motor Voter Act, does not adequately ensure the citizenship of voters, leading to potential election interference.
- To resolve this issue, Roy supports the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would mandate everyone registering to vote to provide proof of their citizenship.
In a recent conversation, Rep. Chip Roy clarified his concerns about the current state of the election system.
“Let me just say this about the overall state of the election issue,” Roy began, stating that “we’ve got repeated evidence of those who are here illegally — or, or whether they’re here legally — but non-citizens voting.”
These, according to him, aren’t baseless accusations.
“We’ve got studies demonstrating that. We’ve got evidence that it may have tipped the election for Al Franken and his election back in Minnesota.”
He further pointed out that various local jurisdictions such as Oakland, San Francisco, Washington, DC, and New York City register voters for state and local elections, without taking measures to ensure the same individuals don’t vote in federal elections.
“The state of Arizona has to run two systems — one for their state local elections and one for their federal elections,” he said.
“They’re literally bifurcated because they want to ensure citizenship for their state and local elections, but they’re not allowed to for federal elections.”
He also took issue with the Motor Voter Act, a federal law passed in the 1990s.
“It limits the state’s ability to determine and collect the information necessary for determining and checking citizenship,” he said.
The Congressman criticized the existing system which requires federal agencies to distribute registration forms, only asking individuals to self-identify as citizens, without any further checks and balances.
“There is nothing there to actually check citizenship,” he emphasized.
The proposed remedy, according to Roy, is the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act which mandates all prospective voters to prove their citizenship during registration.
The Congressman was optimistic about the bill’s potential for bipartisan support.
“Massive bipartisan support that only citizens should vote,” he said.
Speaking on recent events, Roy divulged how a vote in Washington to end the registration of non-citizens for elections garnered support from 52 Democrats, while 143 Democrats opposed it.
“That gives you a rough idea,” he said, pointing out the partisan divide on the issue.
Roy also expressed concern over the impact of mass immigration on voter registration and election outcomes.
“And this is why this issue matters so much, on the top of Biden dumping in five million people into our country, plus two million got-aways, you know, tens of thousands every day, additionally, coming in,” he added.

I wish more “Politicians” would speak to this situation!! My friends & I have been saying this since Biden opened the Border in 2020!! It is so obvious, yet you rarely hear about it. It should be the main topic from the MEDIA!!! The “D’s” have obviously been planning this for many many years before the last election.
We feel that if they are successful, we will be a ONE PARTY COUNTRY!! They are really close to that outcome.

Add to this that several states send out unsolicited ballots to everyone on their rolls knowing that many are dead or no longer residents. This is why we need to go to in person voting only on eelection day, on paper ballots, omnly after positive ID. Otherwise expect another crooked election.

The Democrats have won. I don’t believe there is a way to reverse their illegal acts of securing America under Liberal Democratic rule. They find every way imaginable to stay in power including indoctrinating American students to their way of thinking through the educational system, as well as prosecuting Republican candidates that threaten their power grab. Now, include millions of illegals who will decide our fate as a country. Radical muslims are now in congress/senate positions. Muslims will one day try to replace the constitution with sharia law. Include the fact that Democrats have put a large group of criminals and mentally ill unvetted illegals on our streets. Americans are being killed and raped by Biden’s illegals. This is all the doing of the Democratic party. The Democrats have guaranteed the United States to become a third world country eventually in turmoil and civil wars.

It is not said if non citizens are voting in federal elections. The client is convenient to characterize the given cities for their acceptance of noncitizens voting in at least local elections. One vote by a noncitizen in any federal election is one too many. If this can be “proven” then voting in federal elections in those states should not be counted until all voters can be verified. Your vote and my vote as citizens should never be discounted. Every vote by itself determines election result.

Who decides the rules for registration? Is it not the County registrar? Does not the registrar follow state and federal laws to register? If violations are true, who is asleep at the wheel? Blame the illegal? If one does they are reacting to the politician saying pay no attention to what I am not doing, pay attention to the illegal.

Voting fraud is an attack on the entire nation, and should be a capital offense.

Fake information. No such proven information or study exists prove Roy’s allegation. Indeed, if anything, the evidence is that there are very few such votes and for all improper votes, the evidence is that more voted Republican than Democrat

It would be helpful if you could cite the investigations of election fraud. That is what it is fraud. Roy should as a National Rep. Cite the evidence before he blames. If there is question of fraud. he is in place to set the ball rolling to investigate. How long has it been since this question began to appear? A long time. If it was this important to Roy, the investigation would have been completed. Our vote is important. It should be guarded.

Who is surprised? Not me! I’m okay with showing my license, why not every voter. Don’t drive? Fine, get an ID card, anything that requires a birth certificate to receive.

My grandma got a drivers license and never had an accident in 60 years. She got all kinds of congrats from the governor on down. The only thing is, she needed it for cashing checks and voting. That was back in the 60’s.
I learned in high school that a person had to be a citizen of this country to vote. I didn’t know the law had changed.

I saw illegals voting in the Atlanta area back in 2000 and when I commented on it and the pollsters almost ran me out of the polling station. They were getting way with it by putting them down as possible voters with registration to be checked but it never was. This was a ploy used by Democrats in the Atlanta area for decades. Cyntha Mckinney and her dad were finally caught but never got any sentence but a slap on the hand and told not to do it again.

The courts have spoken loud and clear, they are green lighting the democrats to go ahead and cheat in anyway they choose! When you have video evidence of cheating and over look it by saying legal voters have no standing! Then the nation is done as a constitutional Republic!

It is just ashamed that their are so many cheaters in the USA. The only way the cheating Democrats can win elections is by having illegals vote. That and that alone is the only way Biden could ever win. Liars and cheaters will go to hell – but that will be to late to save the USA. If only we could have honest elections. Obama, Soros, Romney, Biden family are so crooked — but money buys cheaters. Soros needs to go as does Obama–but they never will. They are responsible for the attempt on President Trumps life–if only we had honest DOJ and others at the top-we would have already known that. Did you notice how fast the Dumocrats responded to the attempt on Trump–they knew of the attempt before it ever happened.

Skip the hysteria. It’s already illegal for noncitizens to vote in Federal elections, and nobody has come up with any evidence of substantial vote fraud.
