Senate Democrats blocked a key component of the SAVE America Act<\/a> that, in the past, they have supported.<\/p>\n

During the wee hours of Saturday morning, Senate Republicans tried and failed to get Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer,<\/a> D-N.Y., and his colleagues to back a stripped back voter ID bill amid a spree of last-minute legislative business.<\/p>\n

But Senate Democrats, including Schumer, have for years espoused support of identification to vote. Several states with Democratic senators have voter ID laws, too.<\/p>\n

SCHUMER, DEMOCRATS SAY THEY SUPPORT VOTER ID, THEN BLOCK GOP AMENDMENT TO REQUIRE IT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Democrats support voter ID,” Schumer said in March. “In fact, we included it, and it is included, in our Freedom to Vote legislation several years ago.”<\/p>\n

Schumer and his entire caucus voted against the bill from Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio, nonetheless. Requiring identification is already the practice in 36 states. Of those, 23 require photo ID, while 13 accept another form of identification, such as a bank statement. Nine of those states have Democratic senators.<\/p>\n

It was the last stand of the night for the Senate, which is gearing up to leave Washington, D.C., for several weeks of valuable campaign time in vulnerable incumbents\u2019 home states.<\/p>\n

And it comes as Republicans have so far tried and failed to find a path forward for the SAVE America Act, which Democrats, along with a handful from the GOP, have blocked numerous times in a variety of configurations.<\/p>\n

Husted\u2019s bill would have prohibited state and local election officials from providing a ballot to vote in federal elections<\/a> unless a person provided a valid form of identification.<\/p>\n

Husted\u2019s bill teed up a plethora of options, including an unexpired driver\u2019s license with a photo, an unexpired state-issued ID card with a photo, a valid passport, a valid military or veteran ID with a photo or an unexpired tribal ID with a photo.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also not the first time Democrats have blocked it. In March, Republicans tested their support of voter ID for the first time in a vote to attach Husted\u2019s bill to the SAVE America Act. It failed on party lines then, too.<\/p>\n

TRUMP KEEPS CALLING THUNE DESPITE PUBLIC FIGHT OVER SAVE AMERICA ACT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

After it became clear that President Donald Trump\u2019s top legislative priority<\/a> was not going to be passed nor even considered before lawmakers exit Washington, D.C., Republicans opted to take one last crack at Democrats’ resolve.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got many Democrats, who have said, \u2018I\u2019m just fine with voter ID,\u2019” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said. “Voter ID is a major component of SAVE America, and they’ve said that over and over again when we had it on the floor in late February and early March.”<\/p>\n

“It was the argument that I heard from many of these people, as it was on the floor for hours and hours at a time, saying, \u2018I’m okay with voter ID, don’t like this,\u2019” he continued. “So we’re gonna find out where they are.”<\/p>\n

Lee has been the loudest supporter of the SAVE America Act<\/a> in the Senate, pushing and prodding his colleagues on X to get on board with passing the package.<\/p>\n

Republicans had a chance earlier in the night to begin the work of crafting a version of the SAVE America Act with a budget blueprint that, if successful, would have teed up the partyline<\/span> budget reconciliation process, but were called to stand down by Trump.<\/p>\n

Now, they don\u2019t return until early September, just weeks out from a midterm election<\/a> that could reshape the balance of power in the Senate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
