John Thune said he will bring the Trump-backed SAVE America Act to the Senate floor next week, while declining to promise it will pass. The bill would require proof of citizenship to register and photo ID to vote, and faces Democratic opposition.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he would bring the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor next week. He said he could not guarantee an outcome but would put Democrats on the record. Thune supports the bill and has rejected calls to change Senate procedure to help it pass. The House advanced the measure last month, with Henry Cuellar the only Democrat voting for it.
The article says the bill would require proof of citizenship to register and photo ID to cast a ballot. Democrats and voting-rights activists argue it would disenfranchise millions; Republicans point to polling showing support for voter ID and barring noncitizens from voting. Mike Lee and other proponents have pressed for a standing filibuster, while President Donald Trump has urged passage and said he would not sign other bills until the act passes.
