If signed into law, the bill will require individuals to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. The bill passed in the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 221-198. Rep. Mann released the following statement after the vote.\n\n\u201cIt should not be controversial to say that only U.S. citizens can vote in our federal elections,\u201d said Rep. Mann. \u201cIntegrity in our elections is the bedrock of our democracy, and Americans deserve to know that every legal vote counts. I don't understand how 198 of my Democrat colleagues could vote against this commonsense legislation. With more than 12 million illegal immigrants entering the U.S. under President Biden\u2019s failed leadership, Congress should do everything in our power to restore Americans\u2019 faith that they are voting in free and fair elections without the interference of non-U.S. citizens. There is no question\u2014I proudly supported the SAVE Act and will pressure the Senate and White House to support its passage and sign it into law.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"]], "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://mann.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-mann-votes-protect-us-election-integrity"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5578442253172398, "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"}
