“With respect to the way that the Senate has to process the budget resolution, the bulk of these conversations are probably going to be post-election,” the official said. “But we’re working very hard to continue to sell the SAVE America Act and continuing to see that advanced, and the form that it can be advanced in reconciliation to get as much of the bill as possible in a reconciliation configuration.”

Nevertheless, the official said the conversation around the voter ID and proof of citizenship legislation has become “bigger” and “robust.”

The Senate is currently on recess and scheduled to be in session for only three weeks before Election Day.

In the meantime, the failure of Democrats to back the measure is political gold for Republicans in the midterms, who will force their opponents to own their vote.
