Not saving the SAVE Act
The SAVE Act was voted on in the Senate, and four Republicans joined the Democrats to stop it. Can you guess the four?
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) offered the amendment. The SAVE America Act would require proof of citizenship for voter registration in federal elections and require voters to present photo identification at the polls.
The four Republicans who voted against the amendment were Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Thom Tillis (R-NC), and Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
Collins I understand. She has to vote this way to try to keep her Maine seat, and if she loses it Maine will almost certainly elect a Democrat. Also, if it was just Collins voting against this, it would have passed.
The other three? No excuse, and yet predictable.
all 4 of them are Rinos, and three of them do this crap for spite–Murkowski, Tillis and McConnel.
Two will be gone in January for sure (possibly with one of the two dead), and Murkowski is up for reelection in ’28. Here’s hoping this feckless shrew is primaried out permanently.
There is zero excuse for any of these congressjerks on either side voting against this bill, they do it for spite or out of genuine fear of losing in fair elections.
Tillis is showing his true allegiances now that he doesn’t have to pretend to be a conservative running for re-election.
