EXCERPT:
A Republican effort to attach key election-integrity provisions to a major immigration enforcement funding package failed in the Senate after four GOP lawmakers joined Democrats to block the amendment.
The proposal, offered by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), would have added provisions from the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to a nearly $70 billion budget reconciliation package focused on funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol operations.
The amendment sought to require proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration, establish voter identification requirements, and implement additional election-security measures.
