As the Republican-controlled House is expected to take up a bill Wednesday aimed at making sure only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections, President Joe Biden is signaling he would kill the measure should it miraculously survive the Democrat-led Senate. Biden isn’t likely to need the veto pen.

Democrats will, however, be forced to explain why they oppose the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which requires documentary proof of citizenship to vote for president and members of Congress.

And while they have gotten plenty of cover from corporate media in asserting that foreign nationals — including illegal aliens — are rarely ever caught voting in federal elections, such explanations may not sit well with U.S. voters who overwhelmingly support prohibitions on noncitizens voting in federal elections. Most Americans, too, according to polls, are deeply concerned about the tsunami of illegal immigrants that has swamped U.S. communities on Biden’s watch. Exactly why the Biden administration has kept the border door wide open isn’t lost on anyone who has been paying attention for the past three and a half years.

“Democrats say it’s already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. That’s true. It’s also illegal for someone to illegally enter our country, but that hasn’t stopped millions and millions of people,” U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., told me Tuesday during an interview on the “The Vicki McKenna Show” in Milwaukee and Madison. . .

Steil, the chairman of the House Committee on Administration, which passed H.R. 8281 in May, wants to remind anyone who will listen that Democrats already support foreign nationals voting in local elections, as they are allowed to do in Washington, D.C. Most House Democrats earlier this year voted against a measure that would have barred illegal immigrants and other noncitizens from voting in local elections in the nation’s capital. The bill is deemed dead on arrival in the Senate. (Read more from “There’s Only One Reason Democrats Oppose Requiring Proof of Citizenship to Vote” HERE)

In an era of U.S. elections where ballots — not voters — are the favored currency, nonprofit voter registration has become instrumental in determining which candidate comes out on top at the ballot box.

While conservatives have largely failed to recognize the necessity of such operations in driving Republican voter turnout, leftists haven’t. Unlike their opponents, Democrats have amassed a well-funded machine that’s accumulated their party massive electoral wins in recent cycles, even as the head of their party remains widely unpopular among the American electorate.

Central to Democrats’ efforts is the Voter Participation Center (VPC), a left-wing nonprofit that, despite claiming to be “nonpartisan,” aims to create a “New American Majority” by facilitating “registration of numerous Democratic-leaning voting populations” such as “unmarried women, [racial] minorities and millennials,” according to InfluenceWatch.

Originally known as Women’s Voices Women Vote prior to 2011, VPC was founded by Page Gardner, a prominent Democrat political operative connected to the Kennedy family, with help from John Podesta, the chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Today, the group is run by Tom Lopach, a Democrat operative and head of the Center for Voter Information (CVI), VPC’s “sister” organization that helps it conduct partisan get-out-the-vote operations.

A 2023 Restoration of America report shows just how influential VPC and CVI’s voter outreach has been in recent elections. During the 2020 contest, for example, the groups’ registration-by-mail campaign purportedly produced an additional 272,443 votes, most of which came from battleground states such as Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Those figures are higher than the vote totals VPC claimed it netted during the 2016 and 2018 election cycles.

In a move aimed at reinforcing the integrity of the electoral system, Republicans on the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, led by Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL), have unveiled the “Citizen Ballot Protection Act.” This legislation empowers states to verify the American citizenship of individuals registering to vote via mail, underlining the importance of safeguarding the sacred right to vote for American citizens.

The proposed legislation addresses concerns raised by Republicans who argue that certain blue states, counties, and cities are opening voting rights to foreign nationals, particularly in municipal elections. Sen. Katie Britt emphasized the need for commonsense measures to ensure that voting remains an exclusive right for American citizens. She stated, “Voting in our country is a sacred right that must solely be limited to American citizens. To allow states to uphold this principle should be simple commonsense.”

Sen. Britt expressed concern over certain cities allowing noncitizens to participate in local elections, asserting that such practices disenfranchise hardworking American citizens, undermine the faith in the electoral system, and disrespect those who legally went through the citizenship process. The legislation, named the “Citizen Ballot Protection Act,” seeks to amend the National Voting Rights Act, providing states with the authority to demand proof of citizenship for applicants registering to vote by mail in state and federal elections.

The legislation is co-sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and several other Republican senators, including Deb Fischer, Ted Cruz, Shelley Moore Capito, Roger Wicker, Cindy Hyde-Smith, and Bill Hagerty.

This legislative initiative comes on the heels of accusations made by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) against New York City officials. She alleged that there were attempts to register newly arrived border crossers and illegal aliens living in city shelters, following the city Democrats’ push to grant municipal voting rights to nearly a million illegal aliens in 2021.
