Mike Johnson Announces Passing of Save America Act: The Only People Who Oppose This Want to Cheat on Our Elections

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “Ensuring the integrity of elections is an essential issue. It’s essential to maintaining our constitutional republic, and everybody in this country seems to understand and agree to that. This is about a 90/10 issue in the polling, because all that we’ve done tonight in this simple piece of legislation is apply common sense. All this Save America Act does is it enhances the SAVE Act, which we’ve already passed twice before, which says that you have to have proof of citizenship before you register to vote in federal elections. The law already provides for that, but we need to ensure that it's enforced. And the second part of it, what we added tonight and what is part of the SAVE America Act as a second piece, the very commonsense requirement that you have a photo ID if you’re going to vote. So that’s it. That’s what the bill does: proof of citizenship and photo ID to vote. Everyone in the country understands the necessity of that, understands how simple it is and how important it is. And the only people that oppose it are people who want to cheat our system, who want to participate in our elections illegally, unlawfully, and that’s unfair to the American people and the citizens of this country. And so, we had only one House Democrat participate with us tonight. This has become a bitter, partisan fight and it’s madness to us.”
