Resistance is Everywhere

4 GOP senators vote against adding SAVE America Act to budget package

Excerpt

Four Republican senators voted against an amendment sponsored by Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) to instruct the Senate Rules Committee to find a way to add the core elements of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act to a budget reconciliation package that could pass next month with a simple-majority vote.

Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) voted against Kennedy’s proposed instruction to the Senate Rules Committee to craft a bill that would ensure only American citizens vote in federal elections, require all voters to show proof of identity, and to require all ballots be counted within 36 hours of Election Day.
