Welcome to The Truth with Lisa Booth, where we get to the heart of the issues that matter to you.

Today, we've got Congressman Abe Hamaday from Arizona on the show.

He is an advocate for election integrity, and he's a co-sponsor of the SAVE Act, that critical

bill aimed at ensuring that only American citizens vote in our federal

elections. And by the way, they have to show some form of government ID. Does that just sound

Part of that, not just the citizenship requirement.

So what this bill does is you have to show proof of citizenship and voter ID in order to

register to vote and to keep you on the voter rolls. So it's very common sense

legislation that has the support of over 83% of Americans. Can you imagine? Usually it's hard to get

people to agree on something like that. And what's remarkable is the pushback we're getting

from the Democrats. But we should be voting on that to this week and today. So

hopefully once we pass that elect integrity measure, and now it goes on to the Senate, which is
