In this Breitbart article, Elizabeth Weibel reports that Sen. Bernie Moreno criticized Congress for failing to pass the SAVE America Act while contrasting U.S. election procedures with Colombia’s system.
- Moreno called it “embarrassing” that Congress has not passed the SAVE America Act, which is aimed at requiring proof of citizenship for voting in federal elections.
- Speaking on Breitbart News Saturday, Moreno said he recently observed elections in Colombia and came away impressed by the country’s process.
- He said Colombia does not use mail-in balloting and instead holds a single-day election with strict proof-of-citizenship requirements.
- According to Moreno, voters in Colombia must show proof of national citizenship before they are even allowed into the voting area.
- Moreno also praised Colombia’s use of paper ballots, hand counting, election observers, and judges available to handle disputes.
- He said Colombian election results were delivered roughly an hour and a half after polls closed.
- Moreno contrasted that with California’s prolonged vote-counting process, calling it “completely insane.”
- The article notes that President Donald Trump has endorsed Colombian conservative presidential candidate Abelardo de la Espriella.
- De la Espriella is set to face far-left candidate Sen. Iván Cepeda in Colombia’s June 21 runoff election.
