From Chairman Truono's Desk: STOP Non-Citizen Voting: Urge YES on SAVE Act Today!

Dear Fellow Delaware Republicans and Conservatives,

As your Chairman, I write to you every Monday with a clear mission: to inform, inspire, and mobilize our conservative coalition here in the First State. With the 2026 Midterms just months away, the stakes could not be higher. Delaware's small size is our advantage—we can build unstoppable momentum, defy the projections of Democrat dominance, and deliver real wins for principled conservatism. But none of that happens without secure elections where every legitimate vote counts and no one's voice is diluted.

Right now, the SAVE America Act—a straightforward, overwhelmingly popular bill to protect our democracy—is facing a make-or-break moment in the U.S. Senate. President Trump has made it his top priority, Senate Republicans are pushing hard for a vote this week, and the American people are demanding action. Yet Senate Democrats stand ready to block it, ignoring the will of the vast majority.

This is not just another bill. This is about who gets to decide Delaware's—and America's—future.

What the SAVE America Act Does—and Why It's Essential

• Requires simple documentary proof of U.S. citizenship (like a passport, birth certificate, or REAL ID-compliant driver's license) to register for federal elections—preventing non-citizens from even getting on the rolls.

• Allows states to use Department of Homeland Security data to identify and remove non-citizens from voter rolls, giving Delaware the tools we need to keep our elections clean.

• Closes dangerous loopholes that could allow illegal votes to dilute the ballots of hardworking Delaware families, restoring trust in every election outcome.

  
  

In our state, where close races decide everything from school boards to Congress, we cannot risk even a single fraudulent vote tipping the scales.

The American People Overwhelmingly Demand This Protection

The data is undeniable and cuts across party lines:

• 71% of Americans support the SAVE America Act, including 50% of Democrats and 69% of independents (Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll, February 2026).

• 81% favor voter ID requirements overall, with strong support from Democrats (70%), independents (79%), and Republicans.

• 80% want states to actively purge non-citizens from voter rolls—because Americans know that only citizens should decide our elections.

These aren't fringe views; they're mainstream common sense. Delawareans agree: our votes are too precious to be undermined.

Why Democrats Are Fiercely Opposing It—Despite the People's Will

As Senate Republicans prepare for a floor vote this week, Democrats remain united in opposition, with threats of filibuster and every indication they'll kill this bill:

• In the House, only one Democrat crossed the aisle to support it.

• Senate Democrats claim it might "disenfranchise" voters, yet they refuse to acknowledge real vulnerabilities—including documented cases where states have identified thousands of potential non-citizen registrations (as seen in Texas and elsewhere).

• The real motivation appears clear: preserving loopholes that could benefit their side, even if it means eroding trust and risking the dilution of honest citizens' votes nationwide—and here in Delaware.

  
  

This isn't about access; it's about accountability. Why fight so hard against a measure 71% of Americans—including half their own base—support?

The Urgent Reality: Act Now or Risk Everything in 2026

With midterms looming, a tainted election could lock in one-party Democrat rule for another cycle. But we have the power to stop it:

• Contact your U.S. Senators immediately—call, email, and demand they vote YES on the SAVE America Act. Tell them Delaware won't stand for weakened elections.

• Share this letter widely—forward it to friends, family, neighbors, and fellow conservatives. Our state's tight-knit communities make grassroots pressure incredibly effective.

• Get active today: Join a local GOP event, volunteer for voter outreach, or donate to fuel our coalition. Every action builds the momentum to flip seats and end Democrat control.

For Delaware, for freedom, and for victory in 2026,

Gene Truono,
