The bill aimed at saving America from rigged elections finally goes to the Senate floor on Tuesday, but its fate appears doomed before it gets there. 

While Senate Republican leaders say the process will allow plenty of time for talking, the “talking filibuster” is dead on arrival — and so ultimately is the SAVE America Act. A former congressman and White House Chief of Staff told The Federalist that the alleged support by some Senate Republicans is “disingenuous at best.”

A Capitol Hill source familiar with the floor plan told The Federalist that on Tuesday afternoon the Senate will proceed with a motion on the House-passed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act. Because it was sent over as a message from the House the bill is considered a priority, which allows debate on the bill to begin with a simple majority vote. 

That’s where simple ends. 

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has promised a “robust debate” on the package, which requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to be eligible to register to vote in federal elections and photo ID to cast a ballot. The idea is to make Democrats explain why they refuse to support the extraordinarily popular election-integrity bill.

“[Democrats] will be forced to defend their outrageous positions on these issues – and explain to the American people why common sense and the Democratic Party have parted ways,” Thune said last week. 

The Capitol insider told The Federalist that Republicans will have control over the amendment process, which will allow the majority to push President Donald Trump’s requested additions. Trump wants to include provisions banning corruptible mail-in ballots (with some exceptions), barring men pretending to be women from competing in women’s sports, and ending so-called “gender-affirming” procedures on children. 

There will be a kind of “One Big Beautiful” amendment and........
