Now, as a result of the Biden administration’s radical open-border policies and lax voter registration laws, more illegal immigrants than ever will have the opportunity to vote in federal elections across our nation this year,” said Congressman Cole. “It is crucial to the future of America that we do not let this happen – and the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act does just that. This legislation will not only secure our elections but will also stop illegal immigrants from influencing the outcome of our elections,” said Congressman Cole. “I am proud to have voted in favor of H.R. 8281 today, and I hope to see it continue to advance through the legislative process.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z |
