SAVE Act FAILS + LA's CROOKED Election? | PBD #813
What was said
"The dissident did not budge: Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Tom Tillis of North Carolina once again voted against the legislation, which enjoyed the backing of the majority of Republican colleagues."
Despite 83-84% of Americans favoring voter ID requirements according to polling data, four Republican senators—Collins, Murkowski, McConnell, and Tillis—joined Democrats to defeat the Save America Voter Eligibility Act 50-48. The legislation would have required photo ID to vote nationwide. Senate Majority Leader John Thune failed to break the filibuster despite overwhelming bipartisan public support including 71% of Democrats.
