The Democrats Just Showed They Want Non-Citizens Voting in Our Elections Forever

Voting against the SAVE Act is proof that radical Democrats put America last—always

There’s nothing controversial about requiring voters to provide proof of their U.S. citizenship before casting a ballot for leader of the free world… unless you’re a radical Democrat, that is.

Today, all but 5 House Democrats voted against the SAVE Act (H.R. 8281)—a bill to do precisely that, ensure only citizens vote—or cowardly abstained, including dozens from key swing states where the fate of the presidency will be decided later this year.

That’s ugly, but far from surprising for those paying attention to the Left’s push for opening our elections to foreigners, including illegal aliens. In May, Restoration News was the first to report on the swing state Democrats who voted against a bill that would’ve repealed Washington, D.C.’s non-citizen voting law—which is so expansive it lets Russian and Chinese embassy staff vote in local elections. House Republicans passed that bill; Senate Democrats killed it.

Likewise, the SAVE Act would end the loophole Democrat-led states like California and Illinois have exploited to equip illegal aliens with driver’s licenses, granting them access to voter registration forms regardless of their immigration status. It’d also establish a program to remove non-citizens from state voter rolls by granting states immediate access to federal databases with citizenship information.

Restoration News was also the first to expose the massive, $2 billion coalition of professional activist groups battling against the SAVE Act in Congress. They’ve apparently got Joe Biden’s ear, as the President announced he will veto the bill if it makes it to his desk… which it won’t, as Senate Democrats are expected to kill it as quickly as possible.

Who do they really represent?

While Democrats pretend non-citizen voting is rare, experts at JustFacts show that as much as 13 percent of the roughly 20 million voting-age non-citizens living in the United States will register and cast a ballot in 2024—that’s perhaps 3 million illegal votes, 80 percent of which will benefit Democrats. Considering the 2020 election was decided in the Electoral College by about 45,000 votes across 5 states, that’s easily enough to decide this coming election in Joe Biden’s (or Kamala Harris’) favor.

Polling reveals that Americans are deeply concerned with this threat to election security—and demand action from their leaders. So far, many Democrats are mute.

Others, like Virginia Rep. Robert Scott (D), have bizarrely framed the bill as an effort to “undermine Americans’ confidence in our elections” and “satisfy those who perpetrated the violence of January 6.” The Washington Post incoherentlylabels it “election denialism.” Huh?

The Left’s moronic antics aside, a poll by Americans for Citizen Voting last month shows that fully 89 percent of likely voters—including independents and Democrats—would vote for the state’s Citizen-Only Voting Amendment, which just cleared the final hurdle to appear on North Carolina’s Nov. 2024 ballot. Yet local elected Democrats refuse to say whether they’ll support the measure. That’s the proof millions of voters need to see that the Left cannot be trusted with the future of American democracy.

Out of Touch—and Out of Their Minds

We tracked the votes of House Democrats in swing states which will decide the fate of the presidency in 2024. The numbers speak for themselves.

All 5 of Georgia’s Democrat Congressmen voted against the SAVE Act: Nikema Williams, David Scott, Lucy McBath, Hank Johnson, and Sanford Bishop.

2 of Arizona’s 3 Democrat Congressmen voted no; Rep. Raul Grijalva cowardly abstained. That includes Ruben Gallego, who hopes to be Arizona’s next U.S. Senator, and Greg Stanton.

All 3 of Nevada’s Democrat Congressmen voted no: Steven Horsford, Susie Lee, and Dina Titus.

All 7 of Michigan’s Democrat Congressmen voted no: Debbie Dingell, Daniel Kildee, Hillary Scholten, Elissa Slotkin, Haley Stevens, Shri Thanedar, and Rashida Tlaib (D–Gaza).

In North Carolina, 6 Democrats voted no. Only Rep. Donald Davis voted yes: Alma Adams, Valerie Foushee, Jeff Jackson, Kathy Manning, Wiley Nickel, and Deborah Ross.

8 of Pennsylvania’s 9 Democrat Congressmen voted no, while Rep. Dwight Evans cowardly abstained: Brendan Doyle, Matt Cartwright, Madeleine Dean, Christopher Deluzio, Chrissy Houlahan, Summer Lee, Mary Gay Scanlon, and Susan Wild.

And in Wisconsin, Mark Pocan voted no while Rep. Gwen Moore cowardly abstained.

Loser Democrats know they can’t win honest elections with America’s current electorate—they’re too socialist for that—so they need to import millions of new voters to maintain their tyranny. Americans are catching on. How long until the Democrat Party disappears entirely?
