On Wednesday, Congressman Abraham J. Hamadeh (AZ-08) hosted the Republican Study Committee’s SAVE America Act Roundtable featuring conservative activist Scott Presler and election integrity expert Cleta Mitchell.

 The widely popular and common-sense SAVE America Act would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in elections and the presentation of an ID to cast a ballot.

Congressman Hamadeh was joined by Representatives Bryan Steil, Ben Cline (VA-06), Eric Burlison (MO-07), Mike Rulli (OH-06), John Rose (TN-06), Celeste Maloy (UT-04), Mary Miller (IL-15), and Beth Van Duyne.

"Election integrity never disenfranchised a single soul, but a single act of election fraud disenfranchises us all. That is why America’s elections must be secure, and all voters should be American citizens," said Congressman Abe Hamadeh (AZ-08). "The SAVE America Act is supported by 80 percent of Americans across racial lines. The American people are clear: they support Voter ID. Let me be clear: election security is national security.”

The SAVE America Act is expected to be voted on by the U.S. House of Representatives this week.

When he ran to represent Arizona’s 8th Congressional District, Congressman Hamadeh made a clear promise to his constituents: that he would fight to restore faith and integrity in our election system.

Scott Presler is a leading conservative activist, responsible for registering tens of thousands of voters. In January of 2023, Scott launched Early Vote Action. Scott is credited for playing a critical role in delivering votes for President Trump.

Cleta Mitchell is an attorney who has practiced in the fields of campaign finance and election law for many years. She is presently the Senior Legal Fellow at the Conservative Partnership Institute in Washington, DC and founded the Election Integrity Network in 2021. She is the co-convenor of the Only Citizens Vote Coalition which is focused on the threats to America’s elections posed by illegals and other noncitizens registering and voting in our elections.

Known as the “Abe Firewall,” Congressman Hamadeh has introduced legislation to form an interconnected framework to close loopholes, codify President Trump's protections, and restore American confidence in our elections, and he's just getting started.
