Representative Anna Paulina Luna publicly thanked President Donald J. Trump for his continued advocacy of voter identification measures, calling it a “must deliver” for securing U.S. elections. Luna’s remarks came in response to a Truth Social post from Trump, who reiterated his push for stricter voter verification and criticized Democratic opposition to such measures. Luna, a vocal supporter of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act, echoed the president’s statements in her post. “Thank you, President Trump! Voter ID is a must deliver for the American people and this is mandatory to secure elections!” she wrote. Luna has consistently framed the bill as essential to maintaining the integrity of federal elections.

Trump’s post emphasized his determination to see voter ID implemented for upcoming elections, asserting that Democrats oppose these requirements to maintain opportunities for election fraud. He further outlined his support for citizenship verification and restrictions on mail-in voting, with limited exceptions for military personnel, disabled individuals, those with illness, or citizens traveling abroad. “There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!” Trump wrote, highlighting his commitment to what he describes as election security.
In previous posts, Luna stated, “IF YOU ARE NOT AN AMERICAN YOU DO NOT GET TO VOTE IN OUR ELECTIONS. This is not some radical extremist position, it’s common sense and it’s the ONLY way to secure our elections moving forward. If we don’t send the SAVE America Act to President Trump’s desk we lose our nation.”

The SAVE Act requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. It prohibits states from processing voter registration applications unless this proof is presented and mandates alternative verification procedures for those who may need them. The legislation also obliges states to proactively identify noncitizens on voter rolls and remove them, while establishing criminal penalties for officials who register individuals without the required proof of citizenship. Additionally, the bill provides a private right of action against election officials who violate these rules and directs the Election Assistance Commission to issue guidance to states within ten days of enactment.
Supporters of the SAVE Act, like Luna, argue that the legislation is critical to protecting the integrity of elections and ensuring that only eligible U.S. citizens participate in federal contests. Critics, however, contend that the measures could create barriers to voter registration and disproportionately affect certain populations, sparking ongoing debates over voter access and election security.
By publicly praising Trump and reiterating her commitment to the SAVE Act, Luna underscores the alignment between her priorities and the president’s ongoing focus on election integrity. As legislative discussions continue, the lawmaker’s comments reflect the broader national conversation over voter ID requirements and citizenship verification in federal elections.
