Sen. Mike Lee urged the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act this month in honor of Sen. Lindsey Graham, who had advocated for the bill shortly before his death. Lee described several possible routes for advancing it.
Lee told Fox News that passing the SAVE America Act would honor Graham, who he said had spent considerable time on the measure. President Donald Trump said Graham called him shortly before his death to discuss the bill and told him, “We’re all set on the SAVE America Act.” The bill would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and voter ID to cast a ballot.
Lee outlined several ways to advance the legislation: attaching it to a must-pass measure, bringing it to the Senate floor for debate, or using budget reconciliation for parts of it. He said he believed a “talking filibuster” had the best chance of working.
