Congressman Baird Votes for SAVE America Act, Supports Election Integrity

Today, Congressman Jim Baird (IN-04) released the following statement after voting for S. 1383, the SAVE America Act, to require proof of citizenship when registering to vote and to add voter ID requirements when voting in federal elections:

“I voted for the SAVE America Act to secure our elections by ensuring only American citizens vote in our federal elections. Upholding the integrity of our elections is vital to our great republic and preserving the institutions that make our nation the freest, most prosperous country in the world. This bill comes after the Biden Administration let over 10 million illegal immigrants into our country. Many Democrat-run states have created opportunities where illegal immigrants could illegally register to vote. In some cases, non-citizens can vote in local elections. A large majority of Americans support voter ID requirements to vote. This legislation should not be partisan. This is simply a common-sense measure to strengthen our election integrity and protect the will of the American people.”
