Keep Fighting for The SAVE America Act

Written by David E. Smith

Americans should have confidence that every legal vote is counted — and that every voter participating in our elections is legally eligible to do so.

That is the simple premise behind S.3752, the SAVE America Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility), a major election integrity proposal backed by President Donald J. Trump. This federal legislation would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, strengthen voter ID protections, and help ensure that American elections are decided by American citizens.… Continue Reading

Rep. Niemerg Sounds Alarm Over Noncitizen Voter Registration Mailings

Written by David E. Smith

Last week, we reported on comments made by State Senator Steve McClure (R-Effingham) in which he raised serious concerns after discovering that the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) had sent voter registration materials to noncitizens applying for state assistance. That revelation alone sparked widespread concern and raised an obvious question: Why would a state agency be placing voter registration materials into the hands of individuals who are not legally eligible to vote?… Continue Reading

U.S. Senator Cruz on The Save America Act

Written by David E. Smith

In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) discusses the progress of the SAVE America Act (S.128), now before the U.S. Senate. The bill would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and a photo ID to cast a ballot. Senator Cruz points to strong public support for these commonsense protections, while also explaining the political obstacles in the Senate and urging Republicans to stand united in forcing a talking filibuster against Democratic opposition.… Continue Reading

Erasing the Pledge, Rewriting the Culture

Written by Robert Knight

A city board in northwestern Virginia voted Tuesday to remove the Pledge of Allegiance as the opener for its meetings.

One of the Winchester Planning Commission’s liberal female members blew off the tradition as “pageantry,” and another called it “unnecessary.” Without discussion, they voted 4-2 to toss the Pledge into the hopper.

This is in line with what Democrats are doing to Virginia now that they have taken total control in Richmond.… Continue Reading

Jim Crow or Common Sense? The Media’s War on Voter ID

Written by Tim Graham

The people who call themselves the “mainstream media” have a remarkable tendency to take the minority position on an 80-20 issue, most recently on requiring voters to show a photo ID at the polls. U.S. House Republicans have passed the SAVE Act, while Democrats have almost unanimously opposed it.

But the American people do not. Gallup pollsters report 84% of Americans support requiring photo ID to vote — 98% of Republicans, 84% of independents, and 67% of Democrats.… Continue Reading

Only Citizens Voting Isn’t “Jim Crow”—It’s Democracy

Written by Robert Knight

Faced with Democratic opposition over a national election integrity bill, House Republicans are upping the ante instead of reflexively making concessions.

They passed the SAVE Act in April by a vote of 220-208, with all Republicans voting yes and all but four Democrats voting no. That bill would require proof of citizenship for all new voter registrations.

Two of the Democrats who voted yes, U.S. Representatives Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar, represent South Texas border districts.… Continue Reading

Good News Regarding Bost’s Challenge to Illinois’ Late-Counted Ballots

Written by David E. Smith

The U.S. Supreme Court delivered an important decision this week by ruling that Illinois Republican Congressman Mike Bost (R-Murphysboro) has legal standing to challenge Illinois’ controversial mail-in ballot law. The 7–2 decision in Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections doesn’t decide whether the law itself is constitutional — but it opens the courthouse door for candidates to hold election rules accountable in court.

At issue is an Illinois statute that allows mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted up to two weeks afterward.… Continue Reading

DOJ Review: Dead Registrants & Non-Citizens Found on Voter Rolls

Written by David E. Smith

A sweeping U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) review has uncovered over 260,000 deceased individuals still listed on voter rolls nationwide—along with thousands of non-citizens registered to vote in federal elections. Now, the DOJ is demanding that Illinois hand over its complete statewide voter-registration database, unredacted, as part of a broader push to enforce federal election-integrity laws. Some states are cooperating; others, including Illinois, are resisting. The stakes for 2026 could not be clearer.… Continue Reading

Secure Our Federal Elections: Take Action Today!

Written by David E. Smith

The future of our constitutional republic depends on free, fair, and secure elections. But right now, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is considering a petition that could dramatically strengthen the integrity of our voter registration process—and they need to hear from all of us.

The petition calls on the EAC to amend the federal voter registration form to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship (DPOC), such as a Real ID driver’s license, military ID, or passport.… Continue Reading

SPOTLIGHT: Why Only Citizens Should Vote with Darren Bailey

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

Why should voting be relegated to citizens only? Darren Bailey answers this very question in today’s episode of Spotlight.

Darren Bailey is a former state representative, senator, and gubernatorial candidate. Bailey, a long-time farmer from Southern Illinois, recently participated in an Only Citizens Vote protest in Orland Park– a protest demanding that only U.S. citizens be allowed to vote in state and national elections.

“What if instead offering free college education to people who are here illegally that we actually look at how we can prop up our own children to be the greatest and brightest for the future that we have before us?”
