Even with Democrats, it\u2019s polling at 82%. With Republicans, it polls at 99%, so we\u2019re going to be trying very hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though the bill has passed multiple times in the House, Democrats in the narrowly divided Senate have kept it from passing. In a bid to force the passage of the bill, however, Representative Chip Roy and Senator Mike Lee, the bill\u2019s sponsors, have been calling on Senate Majority Leader Thune to revive the talking filibuster.\n<\/p>\n<p>What is the talking filibuster? According to the Daily Signal, it would \u201cwould require senators to hold the floor and debate rather than simply invoking a procedural 60-vote threshold.\u201d According to Senator Lee, a true talking filibuster protects \u201ceach Senator\u2019s right to debate,\u201d while the current \u201czombie filibuster\u201d grants all the benefits of a filibuster to Senators without forcing them to speak.\n<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Americans around the nation broadly support the voter ID requirements that the SAVE Act would cement in place. According to CNN, 83% of Americans are in favor of the move. It\u2019s no surprise that Americans support stronger election security, as recent revelations have exposed serious fraud in significant elections.\n<\/p>\n<p>As our leaders continue to navigate a divided House and Senate, let\u2019s pray for the passage of the SAVE Act!\n<\/p>\n<h4>Share your prayers for the SAVE Act and election integrity below.<\/h4>\n<p>(Excerpt from the Daily Signal.
