Requiring states to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls. (From original SAVE Act)
Require states to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls.
Occurrences
Evidence
The article says the Save America Act has been sought for months without success and has no path to enactment in the Senate; it notes that the Senate voted only to open debate in March before the effort petered out for lack of support.
The article reports that Utah’s audit found 27 non-citizens removed from the rolls, 25 probable non-citizens given 30 days to prove citizenship, and 5,007 older records whose citizenship could not be verified. It also quotes Lee’s office urging states to cooperate and pass the SAVE America Act.
Assessments
Lee appears to have made a serious federal legislative attempt by sponsoring and pushing the SAVE America Act, which would have required states to identify and remove non-citizens from voter rolls. But as of June 11, 2026, that effort remained blocked in the Senate with no enacted nationwide federal requirement. The Utah audit and limited removals are related state actions, not fulfillment of the promised federal requirement on states. Under the stated rubric, a serious attempt that still failed to produce the promised outcome counts as never, with effort credit.
