“We need to remember that voting is solely a right for American citizens and every effort should be made to preserve it,” Adams (pictured above) said in a statement. “Every time we fail to modernize systems that allow foreign participation is another wound to our nation’s trust in the process.”
“Once upon a time, fixing foreigners voting would have been an issue with not only bipartisan agreement, but also bipartisan solutions,” Adams added.
PILF is a public interest law firm “dedicated to election integrity,” according to its website. The organization “protects the right to vote and preserves the Constitutional framework of American elections through litigation, investigation, research, and education.”
The organization is one of many that have raised awareness to the threat of voter fraud and poor election administration across the nation.
Thursday’s hearing comes a week after House and Senate Republicans introduced the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which “seeks to ensure that only U.S. citizens participate in federal elections by requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration.”
The bill, which would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require proof of citizenship to register an individual to vote in federal elections, has been championed by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA-04) and former President Donald Trump.
U.S. Representative Bryan Steil (R-WI-01), who chairs the Committee on House Administration, has said that “American elections should be for U.S. citizens only.”
