The House of Representatives passed a sweeping election integrity measure Wednesday aimed at preventing non-citizens from voting in federal elections, approving the legislation largely along party lines.
Lawmakers voted 218 to 213 to pass Rep. Chip Roy’s SAVE America Act. All but one Democrat — Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas — opposed the bill.
The legislation is an updated version of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, also led by Roy, R-Texas. That earlier version cleared the House in April 2025 but was not taken up in the Senate.
