Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, criticized four fellow Republican senators for voting with Democrats to block the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act during a recent vote in the Senate. The senators who voted against the amendment were Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.). Hawley expressed frustration, stating that voter ID laws have been supported by voters in Missouri and are popular nationwide. He argued that Congress has a role in regulating federal elections and emphasized the importance of protecting election integrity. The SAVE Act aims to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration and photo identification for voting in federal elections. Hawley noted that 37 states already have voter ID laws in place.
