Bullet points of Speaker Johnson warns illegal immigrant voting could 'throw an election' as House readies spending bill vote
- House Speaker Mike Johnson warns that thousands of illegal immigrants voting in US elections could sway control of the House majority and other elections.
- Johnson pointed out that several members of the House GOP won their elections by just a few hundred votes – or less.
- The House is set to vote on a measure extending the current fiscal year’s federal funding for another six months to avert a partial government shutdown on Oct. 1, coupled with a bill to mandate proof of citizenship in the voter registration process.
- The bill, the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, was deemed a nonstarter by the Democrat-controlled Senate and White House, and President Biden has threatened to veto Johnson’s government funding plan.
