Senator Jon Husted, a Republican from Ohio and current U.S. Senator, posted a series of statements on March 21, 2026, emphasizing the importance of election security and urging bipartisan cooperation in the Senate.
In his first post at 17:33 UTC, Husted wrote: “Two things are critical to secure our elections:

Ensuring only U.S. citizens vote
The SAVE America Act is common sense.”
Later that day at 19:08 UTC, he added: “The American people want safe and secure elections.
I hope Senate Democrats can find common ground with us to restore trust in our elections.”
At 22:16 UTC, Husted referenced another senator’s remarks by stating: “.@LeaderJohnThune is right.
Democrats are not serious about securing America’s elections.”
