Rep. Barry Moore supports continuing resolution with SAVE Act

Sep 19, 2024

Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) released a statement after voting in support of a continuing resolution that funds the government for six months and includes the SAVE Act. This legislation amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require proof of United States citizenship to register an individual to vote in elections for Federal office. Moore is a co-sponsor of this legislation.

Since the beginning of the Biden-Harris Administration, more than eight million illegal aliens have entered our country. In many states, these illegals are eligible for driver's licenses and other benefits, providing ample opportunities to register to vote in federal elections. Speaker Mike Johnson recently crafted a report on the importance of passing the SAVE Act. This legislation passed the House in July, but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer refuses to consider it in the Senate.

“This is the most important election in our lifetime, and Democrats want non-citizens to vote in it because they know Americans don't support their radical agenda,” said Moore. “I have never voted for a continuing resolution before, but I believe we must do everything we can to prevent Democrats from manipulating our elections and benefitting from the border crisis they created at the expense of American families."
