Washington, D.C. — Florida Congressman Daniel Webster, R-Clermont, today voted to pass S. 1383, the SAVE America Act, legislation that requires documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and mandates photo identification when casting a ballot. 
 
“Secure elections are a hallmark of our republic,” said Rep. Webster. “More than 80% of Americans support commonsense requirements to ensure that only American citizens decide federal elections. The SAVE America Act strengthens election security by establishing clear verification standards that protect every lawful vote. And yet most of my Democrat colleagues are opposing this bill. Americans deserve better. I will continue working with my House Republican colleagues and President Trump to advance this measure and urge the American people to demand Democrats in the Senate stop blocking this bill.”
 
The Save America Act protects Americans right to vote and strengthens election 
integrity by:

• Requiring voters to present eligible photo identification before voting. 
• Ensuring states obtain proof of citizenship when registering an individual to vote.
• Requiring states to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls.
