GOP pushes election overhaul as Democrats dig in

A heated showdown is unfolding on Capitol Hill as Senate Republicans press forward with a marathon debate over President Donald Trump’s sweeping election security proposal, the SAVE America Act, while Democrats remain united in opposition. Now on its second day, Republican leaders say the bill is aimed at restoring confidence in U.S. elections. Senate Majority Leader John Thune defended the legislation, saying, “Only American citizens should be voting in American elections,” calling the sentiment "intuitively obvious." Democrats, however, argue the proposal would restrict access to the ballot and disproportionately impact eligible voters. Senator Alex Padilla, D-Calif., criticized the measure, warning, “This Republican majority wants to take us backwards.” At a press conference on Tuesday, Padilla promised Democrats would "kill this bill." ___________ Have a tip?
