Implement common-sense safeguards to ensure that only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections and to protect individual liberties.
Occurrences
Evidence
Finstad and two other Minnesota House members sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi supporting DOJ efforts to obtain Minnesota voter rolls, saying access to voter-roll data is critical to evaluating election integrity and that they will continue fighting to ensure federal elections are conducted with honesty, accuracy, and trust.
The House Committee on House Administration said the House passed H.R. 22, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, and described the bill as requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and helping states remove non-citizens from voter rolls.
Assessments
Finstad materially advanced the promised federal election-safeguard policy by serving as an original cosponsor of H.R. 22, the SAVE Act, which would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections and passed the House on April 10, 2025 during his current House term. However, the bill had not passed the Senate or become law; the latest congressional status showed it was received in the Senate, so the promised implementation has not been fully delivered. His later DOJ voter-roll letter reinforces continued effort but is not itself enactment of the federal safeguard.
