Trump’s allies are planning to take over the Senate floor this week in a bid to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act, setting up a major test for Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), who is under pressure from Trump and the MAGA base to extend the debate over voting reform for as long as possible.
GOP senators are playing their cards close to the vest ahead of this week’s marathon debate over the SAVE America Act, which would require people registering to vote to show documented proof of citizenship.
But they’re bracing for long hours and possible late nights in a bid to build momentum for the bill, which already has broad public support. A recent Harvard CAPS/Harris poll of 1,999 registered voters found that 71% support the SAVE America Act.
Trump allies, frustrated that they aren’t able to force Democrats to stage a talking filibuster to block the bill, are pressing Thune to keep the measure on the floor as long as possible to force Democrats to defend their opposition.
It does not have support from the public, but his goons have probably supported the measure in the public sphere. You don’t get invited to vote if you are not a citizen. There is not some giant conspiracy where a bunch of illegal immigrants are voting at the polling booths. Those are lies, the only people caught cheating are good ol boys voting for dead grandma. The rest of it has been fair and heavily scrutinized, you’re a complete fool if you believe otherwise.
Most people in a democracy care about clean, fair elections and work towards making them so. This only adds a roadblock to the disenfranchised and the poor.
You mean undocumented?
