The SAVE America Act won’t pass itself—especially if we leave town for six weeks. Our election-security issues won’t disappear on their own. There is no cavalry coming to rescue us. We are the cavalry! We must stay here until our work is done—and pass the SAVE America Act.

I’m pretty sure Anthony Fauci hates the SAVE America Act And the talking filibuster And puppies Okay, maybe he doesn’t hate puppies But I guarantee he wants the Senate to take a six-week recess without passing the SAVE America Act

We should nuke the filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act. If we don’t have the votes to nuke the filibuster, we should put the SAVE America Act on the floor and debate it until it passes, requiring filibustering senators to speak and making clear that if they stop speaking, we can “call the question” and pass it with a simple majority. If for some reason we can’t do that—and to be clear, there’s no legitimate reason why we can’t—then we should use budget reconciliation to pass it. But not passing the SAVE America Act is not an option. Neither is taking a lengthy recess without doing any of the above.

The need to pass the SAVE America Act isn’t going away. We will keep this up until the underlying problem is resolved. Those opposed to it should get on board, knowing that if they don’t they’ll face massive backlash from voters.

Some may continue to attack the idea of keeping the Senate in session in August to debate the SAVE America Act, describing it as a recipe for failure and frustration. Some may even try to make that warning a self-fulfilling prophecy. It need not (and I believe will not) end in failure if we follow the simple approach I’ve outlined, informed by centuries of Senate custom and practice. There may be other ways to skin this cat, and I’m certainly open to other options. Budget reconciliation could be one alternative, but it’s a far more complicated way to achieve the same ends—one that has far more points of potential failure than the true, talking filibuster. Also, as time-consuming as the talking filibuster can be, at this point it might be the only option we have time to complete before the election in November. Regardless, I’m confident that the approach I’ve described, if followed, would put us in the best possible position to pass the SAVE America Act. If someone’s got a better idea for how to give us the best shot possible, I’m all ears. But in the meantime, we can’t let the naysayers win simply because we can’t guarantee victory.

🚨Seven Steps to Election Security 1. Call up the SAVE America Act. 2. Announce that we’ll keep debating it for at least a few weeks, working through weekends and scheduled recess time until it passes. 3. Require filibustering senators to speak, with the understanding that if

Every U.S. citizen should have confidence their vote counts. Idaho has the best run, most secure elections in the nation. The SAVE America Act bolsters every U.S. citizens’ right to vote and holds the rest of the country to the same high standards as Idaho. The Senate must vote
