Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has acknowledged that the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship for voter registration in federal elections, faces significant hurdles in the Senate due to the current filibuster rules. He stated plainly, “The votes aren’t there” to pass it through a marathon talking filibuster, as demanded by some to force Democrats to hold the floor indefinitely. Thune further explained, “The votes aren't there, one, to nuke the filibuster, and the votes aren't there for a talking filibuster,” emphasizing the lack of support to change Senate procedures or override opposition. Americans who support securing elections and restoring the traditional talking filibuster for greater transparency should politely call Senator Thune's office at (202) 224-2321 today and urge him to lead on passing the SAVE Act while mandating real, on-the-floor debate — no more silent blocks!WE ALSO COVER: Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei makes an appearance.
