Save Act

U.S. Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) has indicated that she will support the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, commonly known as the SAVE Act, after weeks of speculation. While the long-serving GOP moderate indicated that she will vote in favor of the bill, Collins emphasized that she is not in favor of tweaking the legislative filibuster process, which could provide a significant hurdle to the bill’s final passage.

Collins confirmed that she would be supporting the bill in a statement to the Maine Wire on Friday. Her endorsement was critical, as it brought the number of Republicans supporting the measure up to 50, which would allow them to pass it with a tie-breaking vote from Vice President JD Vance.

Old glitching Mitch appears to be glitching again. Is his Trump hate showing?

As Sen. Mitch McConnell prepares to ride off into the congressional sunset, the Kentucky Republican is said to be sticking it to President Donald Trump one more time. And the sticking this time, not surprisingly, involves one of Trump’s most urgent concerns: election integrity.

“Oh, yeah, that’s what McConnell is doing. Personally speaking, I think it still stems from Jan. 6 (2021 Capitol riots),” a top congressional aide told The Federalist on Thursday afternoon, as the battle over the SAVE Act ground down to trench warfare.

“Of course, Trump hasn’t had nice things to say about McConnell, and vice versa, but I think it’s personal, no matter what (McConnell) says,” the aide added.

The 83-year-old former Majority Leader’s latest trip to the hospital this week for “flu-like” symptoms has slowed the pace even more so on whatever version of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act) the listless GOP majority believes can squeak through. But McConnell’s intransigence on a bill that humbly asks for proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in U.S. elections has been felt over the nearly 300 days since the Republican-controlled House passed the measure.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has argued that requiring voter identification is “another way to simply try to suppress the vote,” pushing back on polling that shows broad public support for voter ID laws.

Schiff made the remarks Sunday during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week.”

Host Jon Karl asked whether Democrats could support a compromise requiring photo identification in order to vote.

The SAVE Act, which would require “documentary proof of United States citizenship” to register to vote, is making its way through Congress. This is popular among Americans. So, why is there a holdup? Today’s show breaks it down.

“We just want to make sure that you are who you say you are. That’s it,” Crowder said. “I either encounter people who claim racism, because they are die-hard leftists, or the second group of people go, ‘what? We don’t have any ID requirements?’”

Over 80% of Americans agree with this, according to polling data released by CNN’s Harry Enten, including over 70% of Democrats.

“Everyone supports it except the Senate Democrats, who threatened a filibuster,” Crowder said. “They are willing to die on this hill to ensure that no one needs to present an ID to vote.”

According to the left, voter ID is racist.

“Here’s the truth, of course, not. The SAVE Act is popular among all racial groups, increasing year after year,” Crowder said.

It appears that there may be a growing divide within the GOP, and it’s got nothing to do with redacting files associated with a convicted sex offender.

Instead, surprisingly, it’s got everything to do with requiring Americans to provide key identification before voting.

The Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, per Fox News, aims to enact two key provisions.

First, it would require states to obtain proof of citizenship in-person when people register to vote.
