Atlanta, GA – Today, President Trump signed an executive order strengthening election integrity. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement:

“Tea Party Patriots Action is thrilled with President Trump’s executive order strengthening election integrity by requiring government-issued proof of citizenship on its voter registration forms, among several other important reforms. The legacy media keeps insisting that requiring proof of citizenship is redundant because non-citizen voting is already illegal. What they don’t explain is that there is currently no enforcement method to ensure that the law is being followed. This is where President Trump’s executive order steps in — it adds an important safety mechanism to ensure the law is being implemented as intended.

“Strengthening election integrity is at the heart of Tea Party Patriots Action’s mission. Ahead of the last two election cycles, we recruited and trained 35,000 poll watchers and poll workers. Last year, we commissioned John McLaughlin’s company to conduct an election integrity poll. We learned that 87% of Americans agree that ‘proof of U.S. citizenship should be required to register to vote in American elections,’ and that 79% agree that ‘foreigners should be prohibited from interfering, including voting, in U.S. elections.’

“We are grateful to President Trump for taking decisive action on an issue that’s at the heart of our republic. Now Congress must codify these reforms. The SAVE Act deserves a floor vote in both Houses of Congress as soon as possible.”
