EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Four GOP senators joined Democrats to block the SAVE America Act budget amendment, sparking intense criticism from Senator Josh Hawley.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is ripping four GOP senators who voted against a motion to effectively add the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act to a $70 billion budget reconciliation package, saying he doesn’t know why fellow Republicans would vote against a voter ID law.
Four Republicans — Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), and Thom Tillis (N.C.) — voted against a motion to waive all budgetary procedural objections to an amendment on the SAVE America Act offered by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
