Episode Details

Senate Majority Leader John Thune faces pressure from fellow Republicans to swiftly advance a voter integrity bill, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which aims to require proof of citizenship for voter registration and identification for all ballots. The bill, passed by the House, seeks to address claims of election issues. Some Senate Republicans push for reviving the old talking filibuster rule to sidestep Democrat opposition, but the party is divided. Thune, who promised to keep the sixty-vote threshold, feels the heat from colleagues lobbying for the bills passage before spring recess, despite other priorities like the Homeland Security shutdown.
