Four Senate Republicans voted with Democrats to block the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, which aimed to establish voter ID requirements and enhance election integrity. Senators Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) participated in this decision, marking the second failure to pass the legislation. The amendment required at least 60 votes to succeed but did not meet this threshold during the vote on Thursday night. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) criticized Democrats for opposing the amendment, suggesting that their stance facilitates election fraud. In response, Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) pointed out that a similar proposal had been defeated previously and emphasized that current safeguards against non-citizen voting are effective.
