Congressman Aderholt’s Statement on House Passage of the SAVE America Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Aderholt voted ‘Yes’ on the SAVE America Act, which passed through the House of Representatives.

The SAVE America Act requires proof of citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections and strengthens election integrity standards.

“I am proud to have voted ‘Yes’ on the SAVE America Act to ensure that American elections are fair and free. We need to restore confidence in our voters and integrity in our elections, because it’s common-sense that American elections should be decided by American voters, and American voters only,” said Congressman Aderholt.

The Pew Research Center shows that 83% of Americans support requiring all voters to show government issued photo identification.

Americans need to use a photo I.D. to check into hotels, buy alcohol or tobacco, open a bank account, board a flight, donate blood, buy cold medicine. The SAVE America Act would simply add “voting in a federal election” to that list.
