Here are the five Democrats who voted to ban noncitizen voting in federal elections

Five Democrats joined most Republicans in the House on Wednesday evening to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act that requires voters to prove their citizenship in the United States in order to vote in federal elections.

The bill was passed in a 221-198 vote that saw a handful of Democrats from swing districts side with the Republican-led House. All Republicans voted in favor of the bill, and 198 Democrats opposed it. 

Here are the five Democrats who voted with 216 Republicans to pass the legislation:

Maine Rep. Jared Golden

North Carolina Rep. Don Davis 

Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar 

Texas Rep. Vicente Gonzalez

Washington Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez

The SAVE Act has been blasted by the Biden administration as redundant, because it is already illegal for non-Americans to vote in federal elections. 

“The alleged justification for this bill is based on easily disproven falsehoods,” the administration said in a statement on Monday. “Additionally, making a false claim of citizenship or unlawfully voting in an election is punishable by removal from the United States and a permanent bar to admission.”
