00:00American people have common sense, and they want to see reforms like this put into their election.
00:04Eighty-four percent of Americans support a photo ID when they go to vote.
00:09Eighty-three percent support proving your citizenship.
00:12Ninety-five percent of Republicans and 71 percent of Democrats agree with voter ID.
00:19The House of Representatives passed the SAVE Act.
00:22This is federal legislation that does some common-sense, straightforward things.
00:27First of all, it requires a photo ID.
00:29In order to vote in federal elections.
00:31It also requires proof of citizenship in order to register to vote.
00:36And it requires states to remove non-citizens from their voter rolls.
00:41These measures are extremely popular with American citizens.
00:45American people have common sense, and they want to see reforms like this put into their elections.
00:50In fact, a Gallup poll was recently released that shows 84 percent of Americans support a photo ID when they
00:58go to vote.
00:58That 83 percent support proving your citizenship when you go to register to vote.
01:04A Pew research poll showed that 95 percent of Republicans and 71 percent of Democrats agree with voter ID.
01:13There's a reason why more than 80 percent of Americans support these measures, and that's because they work, and they're
01:20common sense, and they build trust into the system.
01:23It's common sense that our elections should belong to the American people, that they should be the ones who get
01:29to vote, whose votes are counted.
01:31That they get one vote, not more, not less.
01:34It's common sense to make sure that foreign nationals don't vote in our elections, don't elect our leaders, and have
01:40a say in how our country runs.
01:42They don't and should not be allowed to be trampling on the voice of the American people, and will no
01:48longer allow American citizens to be disenfranchised, to have their voices suppressed by criminals, by hostile foreign actors, and by
01:55illegal aliens that shouldn't be here in this country.
01:58You know, at the end of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Benjamin Franklin was asked out on the street by
02:04a woman what kind of a government that we would have, and he replied to her, a republic, ma'am,
02:09if you can keep it.
02:10And that's what our job is.
02:12For 250 years, it's been our American duty to maintain our republic and to make sure that our elections are
02:19secure.
02:20Republics depend on the confidence of their citizens, that when they vote, that their vote matters, that it counts, and
02:26our elections are essential to make sure that that confidence stays there, that they know and trust that the system
02:31is fair.
02:32Since returning to office, President Trump has made election integrity a priority.
02:37He's made it a cornerstone of his Make America Great Again agenda.
02:41And the truth is that our election system needs a lot of work.
02:44From state to state throughout the country, we see challenges and things that can be improved on.
02:49And although the Constitution gives states the primary responsibility for running their elections, Congress also gives authorities and duties to
02:57the federal government.
