80% of the country want this bill passed. It needs worked on to get rid of mail in ballots. Freeloader, er Leader Thune ought to be ashamed of himself as well as embarrassed if this fails. My money says a watered down bill passes and not effective until after the midstream’s. I don’t have any faith in Republicrats.

This is all good news and impressive movement by the House, and I hope it gets passed before midterms, but ....

I'm afraid that the SAVE act over focuses on illegals voting (they shouldn't) but overlooks the much greater problem. Mailing out ballots to questionable addresses to people who did not even request them, died, moved out of area, etc is a far greater problem. We must get back to an election DAY with absentee ballots upon request. Joe Biden's 81 million votes did not come from illegals.

The SAVE act does outlaw mail-in ballots. Only Absentee Ballots by individual application for elderly/shutins, those in the military or those temporarily out of town are authorized.

Just the fact that Thine is so resistant to getting this Bill through is so astonishing. 80% of Americans - not just Republicans - ALL Americans want this Bill.

Maybe we need to bring back torches and pitchforks to get these guys to actually to DO something!

Spineless chickenshit republicans never been in a schoolyard fight. Democrats are now communists and they're not hiding that fact. This nation is a dying man sinking barely treading water and gulping water and the assholes in the GOP stare and do nothing. RIP America 1776-2026.

I’d LIKE your post but I simply refuse to accept the defeat of this country. Yet, anyway.

We need to vote Republican- even for the Thune’s among them in these midterms, because it’s our absolute and only chance to remain in the fight to help this President to right the ship. And not even the Thunes can prevent We the People from making sure we stay in the fight for the long haul.

I have been a conservative independent for 50 years never joining either party. I do vote for republicans pinching my nose only because they are the lesser of two evils but that has changed. I hold both parties in contempt for various reason but mostly they represent the world of commerce and banks not the American people. If the GOP doesn’t fight for their own constituents, then someone else somewhere owns them and their votes. My conscience and principles outweigh all their policies and talking points. I want my grown son and his teenage children to live in the America of my youth. That is going to fade away because both parties have failed us all.

I do agree. Republicans lose both houses and Trump is impeached.

Sen Thune needs to grow a spine and lead. This bill deserves debate. This bill needs passed before the midterms. We the people demand it when 80% are in favor. Sen Thune needs to act now; after the midterms he may not have a chance. If delay is his way of leading, then he needs to step aside and a new majority leader needs appointed. If Senator Thune, thinks his inaction is okey by anyone, he is sorely wrong. Do your job!!

I love and so appreciate how plainly A. Muse expounds and explains this bill, this issue and the essential importance of allowing open debate with, ultimately, a vote. Will you, Sen Thune, DO YOUR job in the statesman’s manner!!! America awaits!!
