These scurrilous and false arguments that have been made against this bill--now, although some of these arguments have been mingled with truth, they are almost entirely false. They are built on lies. They are built on a blatant…

we are having quite a debate, and I do believe that the American people are learning quite a bit about the Democratic Members of the Senate and the Republican Members of the Senate as we go through this debate on the SAVE America Act. Now…

It surprises me in the sense that it seems phenomenally unwise. It would have surprised me earlier in my lifetime. It would have surprised me even earlier in my time here in the U.S. Senate; yet something has happened in recent years that…

We have an illness within our election system. Our elections have been rendered infirm or at least very insecure by some of these features that I noted just a few minutes ago, including the fact that the 1993 NVRA, as passed by Congress…

The junior Senator from Ohio comes to this job with a unique background, a unique set of knowledge born of experience as the longtime chief elections officer of the State of Ohio. As he looks at the SAVE America Act, he sees that there are…

We have heard a number of arguments. Nearly all of them that come from the other side of the aisle deal with something that is either easily addressed in ways that would not require any change to the legislation before us, or, more…

the SAVE America Act answers one simple question: Should noncitizens be able to cast a vote in American elections? The answer is clearly, incontrovertibly, no. Indeed, the right to cast a vote in American elections is something that…

Mr. President, another accusation, another argument that is being made here that is quite spurious and that just isn't accurate is that U.S. elections are already free and they are already fair and so we don't need to mess with them; that…

It is important to me. I think it is important to the American people, who overwhelmingly support this measure and the policy changes it would bring about when enacted into law, that we keep our running tally of the arguments being raised…

I appreciate the skill and the passion that my friend and colleague the distinguished Senator from the State of Washington brings to the table on this. I appreciate her thoroughness in making the case that she has made to the Senate. I…

This issue could not be simpler. American elections are for American citizens. This is an assertion that is so elementary that its controversy is itself the only remarkable feature. There are 83 percent of Americans who support voter…

I am going to have some comments on the SAVE America Act, and I think it is appropriate that we move forward on that legislation. First, I want to talk a little bit about what has happened with the Department of Homeland Security. We are…

30 years ago today, my late father Rex Edwin Lee passed away after a nearly decade-long heroic fight with cancer. Now, 30 years is a long time. Children grow up, so do grandchildren. Families expand, chapters open and close, and yet there…

Today marks the 20th day of what has been a completely unnecessary, incredibly harmful, and politically motivated shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, an Agency whose core is to protect our citizens from terrorism, from crime…

one of the things I noticed about today is that it is March 4. That means it was exactly 8 months ago that President Trump signed into law the Working Families Tax Cut Act. Now, we knew that this was a massive win for the American people…
