Rep. Mark Harris Fights to SAVE America’s Elections

WASHINGTON, DC — On Wednesday, Rep. Mark Harris (R-NC-08) took to the House floor to champion the SAVE America Act, a key election integrity measure that would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship and a government-issued photo ID to register and vote in federal elections.

Representative Harris said, “What do airplanes, Costco, alcohol, tobacco, entering a nightclub, and opening a checking account all have in common?

You have to show your ID!

We require identification for everyday activities. Why on earth would we not require it for something as sacred as determining the future of this republic?

…
 

Every American — Republican, Democrat, or Independent — wants to know that their vote counts and is not canceled out by someone who is here illegally. This bill ensures that.

…

I’m confident my colleagues in the House will do the right thing and vote to secure our elections. So I address my colleagues in the Senate: Save America! Bring this bill to the Senate floor to debate! Own your position in front of the American people. You must use every tool at your disposal - including the filibuster - to ensure this bill makes it to President Trump’s desk. We cannot delay securing our elections and defending our republic.”
