U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) announced full support for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act on Wednesday morning, ending weeks of speculation regarding her personal position on the bill.
"I am proud to be a co-sponsor of the SAVE Act. Securing our elections has been a priority of mine since day one, which is why I also authored the Citizen-Ballot Protection Act," Britt said in a statement released on social media.
The lawmaker called the level of election integrity provided through the legislation "critical to our democracy" and "free and fair elections."
"Election integrity and ensuring only American citizens are voting in our elections is critical to our democracy and to free and fair elections. We must take every step possible to achieve this. I will continue fighting for election integrity as a proud co-sponsor of the SAVE Act and author of the Citizen Ballot Protection Act."
"I look forward to working with my colleagues to send common-sense laws to President Trump's desk," added Britt.

The SAVE Act would require all American citizens registering to vote or updating their registration information to present documentary proof of citizenship in person. Additionally, it would require states to identify and purge noncitizens from their voter lists.
