Require citizenship documentation for federal voter registration

Weber says he proudly supports Rep. Chip Roy’s H.R. 22, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require documented proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections. He says the bill would allow several kinds of documents, not just passports, and direct states to provide a registration process for people whose citizenship documents do not reflect a name change. Weber also says the bill would leave existing procedures for deployed service members voting absentee in place.

Context: Weber separately says House Republicans passed legislation requiring citizenship proof and empowering states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls, but does not identify that legislation as H.R. 22. His descriptions of the bill’s effects are his characterization of the proposal.

In their own words

We passed legislation requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and empowering states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls.
