The Heritage Foundation: Only 99 Cases of Noncitizen Voting Since 1982


Enter the SAVE America Act: a nationwide voter suppression system disguised as “election security.” It introduces new documentation requirements for a law that has existed for decades.

A Trojan Horse to Nationalize Elections

"Over the last decade, Donald Trump and Republican leaders have doubled down on the conspiracy theory that large numbers of noncitizens are voting. They have used this fabricated threat to justify increasingly harsh voting restrictions.

They claim that noncitizens are flooding voter rolls, illegally swinging elections to favor Democrats—and that the only “solution” is to require proof of citizenship. The data tells a very different story.

"But one of the most concerning features is how deeply the SAVE Act embeds immigration and homeland security agencies into the voting process. DHS becomes a central gatekeeper of voter eligibility. Data sharing is normalized. Flagged voters may trigger removal investigations.


Voting—a core constitutional right—becomes entangled with federal surveillance systems never designed for election administration."
