Why can't our Senate pass the Save Act? (Public Board)

Its common sense. You have to show ID for everything.

The Democrats want illegals to be able to vote, for them of course. So what if they're not citizens? They even admit it now but instead of calling them undocumented illegals, they call them undocumented Americans to make it sound better. Here is Sen. Chris Murphy of Conn. on MSNBC talking about the people he cares about most. Its not citizens who he claims to represent.

Who's fighting for "we the citizens"? It sure isn't Senate Majority Leader John Thune. I see him as Mitch McConnell's puppet. Thune is there to block any voter integrity agenda. He's praying the Senate will go for reconciliation which would delay the vote by 10 days, maybe more. Plus, you have the Parliamentarian influence. Look at this, from AI

"The Senate parliamentarian is a nonpartisan advisor to the U.S. Senate on procedural rules, interpretation of Senate precedents, and legislative process. Appointed by and serving at the pleasure of the Senate majority leader, the parliamentarian provides guidance during floor proceedings, advises on bill referrals to committees, and plays a critical role in the budget reconciliation process by determining whether provisions comply with the Byrd Rule.

Elizabeth MacDonough has served as Senate parliamentarian since 2012, appointed by then-Majority Leader Harry Reid, and is the first woman to hold the position. The role is advisory only—the presiding officer can overrule the parliamentarian, though this is rare. Notable examples include Vice President Nelson Rockefeller’s 1975 overruling on filibuster rule changes. The parliamentarian’s salary was $216,591.63 in fiscal year 2024.

Key responsibilities include:

Advising the presiding officer on Senate rules and responses
Evaluating reconciliation bill provisions for Byrd Rule compliance
Maintaining procedural consistency and Senate precedents
Offering written and verbal procedural guidance to senators and staff
Though not elected and serving indefinitely, the parliamentarian has been replaced for political reasons—such as Robert Dove, dismissed by both Democratic and Republican leaders in the 1980s and 2000s. Recent calls for reform, including term limits, stem from the office’s significant influence over major legislation".

She's a poison pill for anything Republican.
