That is obviously messed up. Senator Rick Scott, Republican from Florida, told Newsmax on Tuesday that Senate Republicans can still pass core pieces of the SAVE act before the November midterms. Scott also urged the Republicans to force final congressional approval of the legislation requiring voter identification and proof of citizenship through either budget reconciliation or a talking filibuster. I've been an advocate for that for quite some time. He also went on to say that Senate Republicans should not allow the measure to languish as the chamber prepares for its August recess.
