Georgia Voters Support SAVE America Act—Even as State’s Democrat Senators Oppose It

A larger number of Georgia voters support stricter voter registration requirements and voter ID at polling places, two of the policy proposals contained in the SAVE America Act.

The results from the Georgia survey show the popularity of the measure, even though most Democrats—including Georgia’s two senators—oppose it.

Nearly 70% of Georgians said voters should be required to prove their U.S. citizenship to vote. The poll also found that 82% believe legal voters should not be diluted by ballots cast by people who are not eligible, and 79% said this voter registration standard should apply to all states.

Heritage Action recently conducted state-level polling in Alaska, Georgia, Maine, North Carolina, and Ohio to gauge voter sentiment on the SAVE America Act.

Trump’s Endorsement

President Donald Trump called on Congress to pass the bill during his State of the Union speech Tuesday: “Congress should unite and enact this commonsense, country-saving legislation right now and it should be before anything else happens.”

Tiffany Justice, Heritage Action executive vice president, echoed the urgency of Trump’s message, calling on Congress to act quickly.

“American voters are smart, and they know that showing an ID to vote is a simple way to protect their ballots,” Justice said. “Voting is a privilege of American citizenship, and it should be defended by commonsense measures that apply equally to all states. Allowing non-citizens to cancel out the votes of law-abiding Americans threatens the very foundation of our republic.”

Awaiting Senate Action

Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., called on his Senate colleagues to vote on the SAVE America Act..

“We’re seeing Americans demand that they make sure that their vote is going to count,” said Collins, who is running for U.S. Senate this year.

Collins challenged critics of the legislation, “Stand up in front of God and the rest of this country and tell people and talk and tell them why you are opposed to this legislation.”

He said the SAVE America Act would give Americans confidence in election outcomes. If we live in the greatest country on earth, Collins asked, “why shouldn’t we have the most secure elections on earth?”

The bill’s sponsors, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, said the legislation would standardize voter registration and prevent ineligible voting, while critics argue it is an effort to limit access to voting rights.

Democrat Opposition

Sen. Raphael Warnock, D?Ga., wrote on X, “Let’s be crystal clear about what’s happening. President Trump is going to try and interfere in the 2026 elections.”

His colleague, Sen. Jon Ossoff, D?Ga., shared his thoughts on the SAVE Act as the bill made its way through the House last year. Ossoff said at the time, “This is a nakedly partisan, totally unworkable, bad-faith bill cynically intended to disenfranchise millions of eligible voters.”

With a vote approaching soon, the Senate could soon decide whether voter ID will be a standard across all states.
