The Senate is expected to take up the SAVE America Act this week after President Donald Trump earlier this month thrust the bill into focus with a threat to withhold his signature on all other legislation until the GOP voting reform bill hits his desk.
Debate on the bill could kick off in the Senate as soon as Tuesday, but on Monday the president seemed doubtful that it would get to his desk.
"I think it's imperative that it gets done. I'm not sure it is," Trump said when asked about the bill's outlook. "I hope [Senate Majority Leader] John Thune can get it across the line. He's trying. I mean, he told me this morning. I spoke to him, he's trying," Trump said. "I think it'll be a very, very bad thing for our country if they don't. We're just asking for basic things," Trump said.
Things could get quite heated on the floor, but ultimately the legislation, despite having a passionate base of GOP supporters, will almost certainly fail.

(20,859 posts)when it comes to VOTING. They are most willing to violate the 19th Amendment in order to do it.
There are also married/divorced female Senators among their ranks that should raise concerns of their female constituents. They support this, they are saying to the women who live in their states, "Sorry ladies. YOU have to show PROOF of who you are in order to vote!"
Republicans need EVERY vote they can get, and that means the votes of women. Women make up close to 53% of the electorate! They are willing to disenfranchise them. THAT is what this comes down to. Finding a solution to a problem that does not exist.
