                     AMERICA NEEDS SALTY ELECTIONS

  (Mr. MORAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the House for 
passing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act led by fellow 
Texan Representative Chip Roy.
  Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution establishes Congress' role 
in Federal elections. While it is limited in this role, Congress does 
have an obligation to ensure that only citizens vote in Federal 
elections.
  Today, this legislation is more critical than ever. Preservation of 
our Republic necessitates free, fair, and honest elections.
  As I have said a number of times as county judge in Texas, what we 
need are SALTY elections--secure, accurate, legal, transparent 
elections--with you, the American citizen, involved every step of the 
way.
  Right now, in America, there is growing distrust in election results 
because of growing abuses and documented instances of election fraud. 
Yet, there are continuing efforts to allow illegal immigrants to 
participate in our Federal elections when it is already against the 
law. This is incomprehensible to me.
  The SAVE Act makes commonsense reforms to preserve integrity in our 
elections by requiring proof of citizenship when individuals register 
to vote, and it will remove noncitizens from voter rolls.
  By passing the SAVE Act, the House has taken an important step to 
ensure every single American vote counts with full measure. I applaud 
Congressman Roy for bringing this action.
