Republicans Inch Closer to Salvaging the SAVE Act

[Free Vulcan]

he US House of Representatives on the evening of July 20 moved one step closer to voting on an appropriations bill that combines funding for the Iran conflict and aid for American farmers with elements of the SAVE America Act. The House Rules Committee shunted the bill toward the finish line, giving GOP efforts to enact certain election integrity measures a boost. There is still work to be done, however.

The Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act, commonly dubbed the SAVE America Act, faced a remarkable amount of resistance – and not just from Democrats. Why is the hesitancy on Capitol Hill remarkable? Because most voters, Republican, Democrat, and independent, support action on election security, including a voter ID requirement. Polls have indicated that this isn’t even a close call, with more than 70% of Democrat voters indicating they favor a voter ID rule.

Still, for whatever reason, some Senate Republicans have no stomach for protecting federal elections, it seems.
