Democrats line up against voter integrity.

“I’m thrilled to announce that just moments ago, we won the vote on the motion to proceed to the House-passed version of the SAVE AMERICA Act. We got 51 votes for it, so game on.”

“We need to stay on this thing now until it passes. Make those who want a filibuster debate, make them speak, and don’t give up until it’s done.”

The SAVE America Act has advanced in its first test vote on the Senate floor.

51-48

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) is the lone “NAY” from the Republican Party. But then she’s not really a Republican.

Trump’s SAVE America Act to face first official test vote in Senate

Senate GOP clears first hurdle on election bill as Democrats hold firm

The Senate will hold a do-or-die test vote on President Donald Trump’s SAVE America Act that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in U.S. elections on Tuesday. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Republicans need a simple 51-vote majority to launch further proceedings.

The Senate on Tuesday voted to open debate on the SAVE America Act in a narrow 51-48 vote, marking an early step forward for the GOP-backed election bill as Democrats remain united in opposition.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, was the lone Republican to vote against advancing the legislation, while all Democrats opposed opening debate. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., did not vote.

The procedural vote allows Senate Republicans to begin debate on the measure, with GOP leaders expected to allow for amendments and extended floor discussion in the coming days.

At some point, Senate Majority Leader John Thune is expected to file cloture to end debate, which would trigger a final vote requiring 60 votes to advance.

Because Republicans do not have 60 votes, Democrats could ultimately block the legislation by refusing to support ending debate, meaning Tuesday’s vote does not guarantee the bill will pass the Senate.
