Congressman Abe Hamadeh, representing Arizona's 8th District, has introduced a bill aimed at bolstering confidence in the United States' electoral processes. This initiative was co-sponsored by Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, Chair of the Congressional Election Integrity Caucus. The proposed legislation seeks to support and make permanent the executive orders related to election integrity issued by former President Donald Trump.

"In Arizona, we have seen what the mismanagement of voter rolls, failed election infrastructure, and corrupt courts can do to destroy voter confidence and faith in our system overall. We are taking swift action to rebuild citizens’ trust in our elections through comprehensive and meaningful election integrity legislation,” Congressman Hamadeh stated.

Congresswoman Tenney expressed her support: "As Chair of the Election Integrity Caucus, I am thrilled to see President Trump sign an Executive Order aimed at securing our elections and restoring confidence in our democratic process. This Executive Order removes illegal immigrants from voter rolls, mandates proof of citizenship for voter registration and revokes the Biden administration's unconstitutional Executive Order 14019. It is crucial that President Trump's EO be codified into law to ensure its full effect."

The legislation aims to make law former President Trump's Executive Order number 14248, which focuses on preserving and protecting the integrity of American elections. Measures included in the bill are the requirement for government-issued proof of U.S. citizenship, security standards for voting equipment, enforcement of voter-list maintenance, mandating voter-verifiable paper ballots, and prosecuting non-citizen voting and related crimes.

The text of Congressman Hamadeh’s bill, H.R. 2499, is available for public reading.
