Summary
Roger Marshall called the SAVE America Act an “uphill battle” after Joey Jones challenged Republicans for leaving Washington for a five-week recess without passing the voting bill.
52 Republican senators backed voter ID, Marshall said, but he argued the real obstacle is the filibuster because Democrats will not supply the votes needed to move broader election changes.
Jones rejected that defense, saying the immediate issue is that three or four Republican senators still will not publicly back the measure before recess despite Trump’s push.
Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell and Thom Tillis were cited as repeat GOP votes with Democrats against the bill, which Jones said polls at about 80% support.
