The GOP's dirty little secret about the SAVE America Act [View all]

(Politico) House conservatives bristled this week over the Senate's refusal to pass the SAVE America Act — the GOP elections bill that President Donald Trump has called his "No. 1 priority" in Congress — and shut down the floor in protest.

Their outrage has obscured an inconvenient truth for the Republicans locking arms with the president to push for the bill: It can't even pass the House — at least not the version Trump is pushing.

Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged as much this week, appearing to concede he does not have the votes to move forward with a drastic crackdown on mailed ballots that Trump has repeatedly demanded this year.

Instead, Johnson and other House leaders have stuck with an older version of the SAVE America Act that focuses on proof-of-citizenship requirements but otherwise lets states run their elections as they see fit.
