Sen. Mike Lee pushes a talking filibuster to debate the SAVE Act, requiring voter citizenship proof, sparking debate over Senate tactics and voting access.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is urging Senate Republicans to use a traditional talking filibuster to advance the SAVE Act, which would require voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship and a photo ID to vote.
He argues the tactic would ensure meaningful debate and counter what Republicans call the "zombie filibuster," where opposition is voiced without physical presence.
The bill has enough Republican support to pass with a simple majority, but Democrats oppose it, warning it could suppress turnout among minority and low-income voters.
The proposal has sparked debate over Senate procedures, with concerns that a talking filibuster would consume valuable floor time and delay other legislative priorities.
