The District of Columbia Tribal Voter Identification Actled by U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) was included in the election integrity package. Johnson\u2019s bill requires Washington, D.C. to accept valid photo identification issued by a tribal government.\n\n\u201cWe must have an election system worthy of the public\u2019s trust,\u201d said Johnson. \u201cPart of that goal is allowing voters to use a valid ID, including ones issued by a tribal government. I\u2019m proud to support this bill that strengthens election integrity while also respecting the Constitution.\u201d\n\nCongress has complete legislative authority over elections within Washington, D.C. and can make America\u2019s capital city the example of effective election administration.\n\nJohnson is an original cosponsor of the ACE Act.\n\nThe American Confidence in Elections Act:\n\nRequires Washington, D.C. to adopt election security measures, including prohibiting same-day voter registration and ballot harvesting, and requiring valid photo ID to vote in person or request absentee ballot.\n\nReaffirms it is a felony for non-citizens to vote in federal elections.\n\nEquips states with tools to boost election integrity and removes outdated federal policies that get in their way.\n\nAddresses voting issues faced by overseas military members & their families.\n\nProvides model state legislation and voter initiatives for state legislatures to consider.\n\nProtects Americans\u2019 First Amendment right to speak political views and support candidates, causes, and organizations without fear of retribution.\n\nCurbs the use of \u201cZuckerbucks\u201d and prevents government censorship of speech.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:18:03Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://dustyjohnson.house.gov/media/press-releases/johnson-house-republicans-working-strengthen-election-integrity"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8397630881518126, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
