Moolenaar Supports SAVE America Act to Secure Federal Elections

Today, Congressman John Moolenaar voted for the SAVE America Act; legislation which strengthens election integrity by requiring proof of U.S. citizenship and valid photo identification to vote in federal elections. The bill requires states to verify citizenship during voter registration and ensures non-citizens are removed from federal voter rolls. 

“Voting is a fundamental right for American citizens and only citizens should be able to vote in our elections. Last year, Michigan reported that foreign nationals were able to cast a ballot in the 2024 election. This is completely unacceptable. It makes clear that reforms are needed to stop non-citizens from registering and casting a vote. The SAVE America Act takes common sense steps to protect the integrity of our elections, restore confidence in the system, and ensure the law is enforced,” said Moolenaar.  

Last year, Moolenaar led his republican colleagues in Congress in calling on Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to explain her failures in preventing non-citizens from voting in the 2024 election. 

The SAVE America Act would require voters to present a photo ID when they cast a ballot and requires states to check for ineligible voters on their voter rolls at least once per month.
