Senate Republicans have a golden opportunity to force passage of the critical Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act by making Democrats actually stand up and talk during a filibuster, rather than letting them kill the bill through procedural games.
Washington Examiner investigations editor Sarah Bedford dropped this bombshell strategy Wednesday, explaining how the GOP could pass the voter integrity legislation "without totally getting rid of the filibuster." The revelation comes as the SAVE Act just cleared the House with overwhelming Republican support plus one brave Democrat who put country over party.
Here's the genius of it: Instead of letting Democrats quietly torpedo the bill behind closed doors, Republicans could force them to actually GET UP and explain to the American people why they oppose basic voter ID requirements. Imagine Chuck Schumer and his cronies having to stand for hours defending why non-citizens should be allowed to vote in our elections!
"There is a way for Senate Republicans to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act without totally getting rid of the filibuster," Bedford explained, highlighting how the talking filibuster could expose Democrat hypocrisy.
The SAVE Act is common-sense legislation that would require proof of citizenship to vote – something that should be so obvious it hurts. But Democrats are expected to fight tooth and nail against it because they NEED illegal votes to win elections. We've all seen the suspicious voter rolls packed with non-citizens and dead people.
This strategy would put Democrats in an impossible position. Either they cave and let the bill pass, or they humiliate themselves by arguing against election integrity on national television for hours on end. Either way, Patriots win.
President Trump's second-term agenda depends on securing our elections, and the SAVE Act is a crucial piece of that puzzle. With Trump's full support and creative parliamentary maneuvering, Republicans could finally give Americans the clean elections we deserve.
The question now is whether GOP senators have the backbone to pull the trigger on this brilliant strategy, or if they'll let the swamp win again.
