According to reports, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has been undermining conservative demands to include the SAVE Act in the upcoming short-term spending bill.
The SAVE Act proposes an amendment to the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 that would enact stricter voting regulations, including requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
Supporters argue that this legislation is critical to restoring election integrity and should be a top priority for conservatives, especially with the election approaching.
However, McConnell’s team has recently indicated that GOP conservatives should abandon the SAVE Act to avert a government shutdown just before the elections.
Critics argue that by sidelining this legislation, McConnell is compromising the party’s commitment to safeguarding election integrity.
As negotiations surrounding the short-term spending bill progress, the rift within the Republican Party is becoming increasingly apparent.
In the end, McConnell’s actions epitomize the broader malaise plaguing the Republican Party—an unwillingness to engage in the hard battles necessary to uphold election integrity, leaving many disillusioned and yearning for true representation.
