@SenThomTillis @greggnunziata If you can automatically register our young men to serve, why can’t you automatically register Americans to vote? Then, those registered voters show photo ID at their polling place. Voter ID and the SAVE Act are not the same.

I am one of the few members of Congress who has actually passed a voter ID law (on a bipartisan basis), which I did as Speaker of the House in North Carolina, and that’s why I proudly co-sponsored the SAVE Act. While I support strengthening mail-in ballot integrity, many states like Utah, Florida, Alaska, and Montana rely on the use of mail-in ballots to conduct their elections, and we should not be completely upending how states already securely conduct their elections. Even if this issue is fixed, the SAVE America Act still will not have the 60 votes required to pass it. While the so-called ‘talking filibuster’ has been floated as an option, there is a reason why previous attempts to utilize it in recent history have failed. A ‘talking filibuster’ would effectively make Chuck Schumer the new Senate Majority Leader, allowing Democrats to block every single Trump judge and executive branch nominee, and allow them to force endless votes on anything they want. Democrats would control the floor of the U.S. Senate until the end of the year. There are only two ways out of a ‘talking filibuster.’ The first is for Democrats to miraculously give up and allow Republicans to pass the bill with a simple majority. That is never going to happen, and anyone who claims it’s even a remote possibility is either completely misinformed or intentionally misleading the American people. The second way is for Republicans to substantially weaken or eliminate the filibuster altogether. I have made it crystal clear that I will never vote to do this. Eliminating the filibuster is a foolish and lazy idea pushed by politicians seeking short-term gain at the expense of causing irreparable long-term harm to our nation. Succeeding in eliminating the filibuster would significantly weaken the minority party, end the need for bipartisan compromise, and allow erratic swings in policy that would transform America for the worse. Those are just the consequences of a best-case outcome. During the last Congress, all of my Democratic colleagues currently serving supported nuking the filibuster to try to pass their own partisan election reform bill. Democrats were dead wrong to try to change the filibuster when they controlled the Senate, and Republicans would be dead wrong to try to change the filibuster now that we control the Senate. The only real path to address the American people’s declining confidence in our elections is for both parties to find common ground on legislation that supports universal adoption of voter ID, proof of citizenship, and other vital election integrity measures.

@LindseyGrahamSC Will you please just come out already so you can stop debasing yourself for this embarrassing POS. Seriously. It’s sad.

Checkmate 🤣

@TheTNHoller If the federal government can automatically register our young men for service, they can automatically register Americans to vote. Then, you show photo ID at your polling place. Republicans are conflating voter ID & the SAVE Act. They are not the same.

The bill doesn’t just require ID, it requires a passport or birth certificate. Marsha hopes you are too lazy to Google the truth. This isn’t about voter ID, it’s about voter suppression.

@SenMcCormickPA @DaveMcCormickPA @SenMikeLee If you can automatically register our young men to serve, you can automatically register people to vote. Then, they show photo ID at their polling place. Stop conflating voter ID with the SAVE Act, they are not the same.

80% of Americans support Voter ID. If the Senate can’t find 60 votes for @SenMikeLee’s SAVE America Act, something’s broken. Democrats should have to stand on the Senate floor and explain why they’re opposing something Americans overwhelmingly support.

@cajunlmt337 @Cozzer_4 @SenMikeLee @AwakenedOutlaw If they can automatically register our young men to serve, they can automatically register people to vote. Then, people just show a photo ID at their polling place. Easy peasy.

@SenMikeLee @AwakenedOutlaw Except the save act requires more than ID you fucking turnip! You likely haven’t even read the unconstitutional bill in its entirety or you’re fine with suppressing voters. Fuck you and fuck that Save Act bullshit! Just pass bill requiring ID and nothing else.

Getting a job. Driving a car. Catching a flight. Opening a bank account. Attending the Democratic National Convention. Americans need ID for all of these things. Why not for voting in federal elections?

@FrankLuntz @ufc So fucking embarrassing.

The White House will host the UFC Freedom 250 fighting event on Sunday, June 14th. 👉🏻 ufc.com/event/ufc-free…

@digitalcraze @Jim_Jordan Believing that people are going to risk their lives to make the trek to America just to vote in our elections and take the chance of getting caught & deported is mind-numbingly stupid.

@Jim_Jordan Democrats don't want Honest elections. They want illegals to vote. That is why they won't support the save act

Democrats let millions of illegal aliens into the country. And America wants honest elections. Voter ID is common sense. SAVE AMERICA!

@Jim_Jordan If you can automatically register our 18 year old sons for service, you can automatically register people to vote. Then, those people can show a simple photo identification at their polling place.

@Jim_Jordan I’ll keep saying it. Stop conflating voter ID with the SAVE Act. They are not the same thing.

@RannXerox @abigailmarone @PressSec epi.org/publication/im…

@pbogs1219 @abigailmarone @PressSec Yeah, police detain innocent people every single day in the US. That happens in law enforcement, it will cont. to happen probably forever. That is NOT going to stop the deportation of illegals. Nothing is going to stop it.

Travelers are stuck in lines. Families are missing paychecks. The TSA callout rate is 5x higher than normal. Things are only getting worse as the Democrat shutdown drags on. Time for Dems to stop the games and fund DHS.

@RannXerox @abigailmarone @PressSec ICE is going to immigration hearings. Look, I don’t want criminals here & I believe that we need immigration reform. I don’t agree with deporting people trying to do it right, or just working hard & mass deportations are going to have a negative effect on the economy.

@MarshaBlackburn Stop conflating voter ID with the SAVE Act. They are not the same.

71% of Democrats support requiring photo ID to vote. It seems that the only Democrats who don’t think this is common sense are the Democrats in D.C.

@RannXerox @abigailmarone @PressSec ICE has detained several people that were here legally. Stephen Miller certainly doesn’t seem to share your opinion.

@pbogs1219 @abigailmarone @PressSec The GOP/MAGA has NEVER been against legal farm migrant work visas. These people are vetted, they cannot go on welfare or take any public assistants. If they commit a crime, they loose their visa. Your source is extremely left bias, try and use a more center source.

Ghost will be despised by a lot of Phillies fans for this. And they’re paying for the privilege. Fascinating decision.

@RannXerox @abigailmarone @PressSec Huh, weird. newrepublic.com/post/207813/tr…

@pbogs1219 @abigailmarone @PressSec Democrats are loosing their voter base, have the lowest approval rating in generations. The leftist female base refuse to have children, they have no money, etc. They are desperately protecting the tens of millions of illegals Biden flooded into the US as their new base.

@RannXerox @abigailmarone @PressSec Are Dems elites or do they have no money? You guys need to make up your mind.

@RannXerox @abigailmarone @PressSec ICE agents are still getting paid. They’re funded through 2029. The CR asks for another $10B. Why hold the others hostage??

@pbogs1219 @abigailmarone @PressSec BS. The Republicans have pushed for just a two week funding for DHS, to allow for cont. debate on futher funding but Democrats want to protect illegals and defund ICE Sorry, why should thousands of ICE agents go without pay? Because Dems want to protect illegals, fuck illegals

@SenateGOP Why won’t you pass the Dems bill to fund TSA, as well as the other agencies while you negotiate ICE? How about you stop holding all the other agencies hostage and show the American people that you can act like adults?

For the 34th day in a row, and 77th day this fiscal year, TSA Agents are working without pay.  Senate Democrats need to put their political games aside and fund TSA.

@RannXerox @abigailmarone @PressSec Republicans want to add another $10 billion to ICE’s already ridiculously high budget. Dems are asking for some reforms. Dems have offered standalone bills to fund the other agencies while they negotiate on ICE. Republicans are holding those other agencies hostage. Fact.

@pbogs1219 @abigailmarone @PressSec The Republican CR is a continuation of the Biden budget, fully funds DHS, adds body cams for ICE along with deescalation training. Democrats, just like their first shutdown, are trying to protect illegals from deportation. Fact.

THE SAVE ACT‼️ #VoterSuppression
