August 30, 2022 Pfluger Announces Election Security Legislation Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) announced his support for the American Confidence in Elections (ACE) Act. The ACE Act is a comprehensive plan to repair election administration and integrity issues and protect free speech while respecting the Constitution and conservative principles.
Representative August Pfluger: “The future of the United States depends on secure elections, and conservatives in Congress are ready with a plan to make sure every election is free and fair. The ACE Act provides states with critical tools to secure their elections and strengthen voter ID requirements, bans noncitizens from voting, prevents taxpayer dollars from funding congressional campaigns, protects conservative voices and free speech by preventing a ‘Misinformation Czar,’ and more. Election security is vital to the future of our nation, and I am proud to support this legislation to restore confidence in our voting system.”
The ACE Act:
- Provides states with tools to
improve election integrity and bolster voter confidence by:
• Prohibiting non-citizens from voting in federal elections;
• Requiring first-time mail-in voters to provide proof of ID;
• Reforming REAL ID to include “CITIZEN” on all qualifying individuals’ identification documents issued or renewed after January 1, 2026;
• Ending private funding (aka “Zuckerbucks”) for election administration.
- Improves voting access for active service members.
- Bars federal taxpayer dollars from going towards Congressional elections.
- Protects free speech by:
• Preventing the creation of any “Misinformation Czar;”
• Protecting the First Amend-
ment right to voice political views and support candidates, causes, and organizations without fear of retribution;
• Strengthening state party committees and non-profit organizations.
