00:00Colorado is extended two minutes.
00:03Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and bless my colleagues' hearts on the other side of the aisle.
00:08Using married women is a gotcha for voting.
00:10I've never had to bring my birth certificate to prove that I was a registered voter.
00:15I have an ID that has a different name than my birth certificate.
00:19And also, since we're using women as bait here, maybe in the next round of debates they can explain to us exactly what a woman is.
00:30I rise in support of the SAVE Act.
00:34The American people are done messing around with a woke, weak-kneed system that lets our elections get hijacked.
00:41I am fighting for you, for me, for every American who knows our vote is sacred, and it's time to lock it down with citizens only.
00:51Let's cut the crap.
00:52Right now, you can walk up, check a box, claiming you're a citizen, and boom, you're registered for federal elections.
01:00No proof, no ID.
01:01That's not a system built on trust.
01:03It's a system vulnerable to error, fraud, and exploitation.
01:07And in Colorado, it was just expedited for the process for illegals to receive a driver's license.
01:14And in the state of Colorado, when you obtain a driver's license, you register to vote.
01:20The SAVE Act is a common-sense measure designed to protect the integrity of our electoral process.
01:26And at its core, it requires proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
01:32This isn't radical.
01:33It's not extreme.
01:34It's a basic safeguard to ensure that only those who are legally entitled to participate in our elections can do so.
01:41Let's be clear.
01:42This isn't about denying anyone's right to vote.
01:44It's about protecting the rights of every American citizen, not adding votes and subtracting American citizens' votes.
01:50I support the SAVE Act.
01:52Mr. Speaker, I yield back.
01:53Gentlemen, it's our time.
01:55Gentlemen, reserve it.
