MLK Family on SAVE Act: Voting Rights Must Come Before Politics

  • Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he will bring the SAVE Act to a vote but doubted it would pass due to lacking the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.
  • Connie Hair argued the SAVE Act could pass by lowering the cloture vote from 60 to a simple majority of 51 under current Senate rules, emphasizing public support for election integrity.
  • Most Republican senators support the SAVE Act, but some hesitate to use a talking filibuster, and Democrats oppose the bill over concerns about discrimination.
  • Thune criticized the talking filibuster as outdated and ineffective, warning it would prolong debate, favor the minority, and delay the bill's passage despite having 51 votes.
