Four Democrats joined all House Republicans on Thursday to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which requires proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
Rep. Chip Roy’s (R-TX) legislation passed the lower chamber in a 220-208 vote, with Reps. Ed Case (D-HI), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Jared Golden (D-ME), and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) crossing the aisle to help push the election reform bill across the finish line.
