Senate Opens Prolonged Debate on GOP Voter-ID Bill Amid Trump Pressure
TL;DR Summary
Senate Republicans plan a days-long debate on the SAVE America Act, a GOP-backed measure to tighten voter ID and registration rules and require purging of voter rolls, despite Democrats’ opposition and no path to the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster. The move is aimed at forcing Democrats on the record and shaping the election-security debate ahead of the midterms, while some Republicans worry about changing filibuster rules or restricting mail voting.
