Fox News just dropped a list of the Republican Senators who may be standing in the way of using the talk filibuster to pass the SAVE Act.
Many in the GOP support the voter ID bill ahead of the midterm and the 2028 presidential elections as a way to make sure that only United States citizens are influencing American electoral outcomes. Of course, the Democrats are largely opposed to this and claim that it will “disenfranchise” voters they think are too incompetent to obtain the necessary identification. As Republicans search for ways to get the act through both chambers of Congress, some of their own appear poised to stand in the way.
Fox News published a graphic with the names of seven Republicans who have “either expressed skepticism or have outright rejected using the talking filibuster.”
Look:

As of this publishing, both Senators John Cornyn and Katie Britt have contradicted the reporting and expressed their support for the method:
Contrary to fake news in the twitterverse: I have supported the Save America Act from day one. I will happily support the “talking filibuster” if that’s what it takes to pass this into law. @realDonaldTrump

“Contrary to fake news in the twitterverse: I have supported the Save America Act from day one. I will happily support the ‘talking filibuster’ if that’s what it takes to pass this into law,” Cornyn wrote.
This is blatantly false. I have been working with @BasedMikeLee to find the votes and path forward to pass the SAVE America Act, which includes the talking filibuster. https://t.co/HZTbL6TysN

“This is blatantly false. I have been working with [Mike Lee] to find the votes and path forward to pass the SAVE America Act, which includes the talking filibuster,” Britt wrote.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, has also confirmed Britt’s “tireless support” for the use of the talking filibuster.
I wholeheartedly confirm that @SenKatieBritt has been one of the Senate’s strongest advocates for the SAVE America Act—and for using the talking filibuster to pass it
Thank you for your tireless support, @SenKatieBritt https://t.co/CQEgrhquo7

Seems to me it’s Thune’s job to make sure those in his party vote properly.

There are at least 15 others. These are just the tip of the iceberg. Ron Johnson knows. Mike Lee knows. Even Scott Presler who was on the Hill the other day knows there’s a LOT more than just these.
