The Senate Has One Job. Let's See If It Does It.

Someone get this to Leader John Thune's office.

Washington has a bad habit of making simple things complicated.

Before the August recess, Senate Republicans have an opportunity to advance one of the most significant election integrity reforms in years. The White House wants the Senate to pass a budget resolution that would pave the way for major portions of the SAVE America Act.

On paper, it shouldn’t be especially controversial.

The resolution funds the military, provides assistance for America’s farmers, and includes $10 billion to help states strengthen election security by adopting key provisions of the SAVE America Act, including proof of citizenship for voter registration and photo identification for voting.

Those are hardly novel ideas. Poll after poll has shown broad public support for both.

Yet the conversation in Washington has become less about the merits of the policy and more about the mechanics. Is there enough time? What will the parliamentarian allow? Can the Senate thread the procedural needle?

Those are legitimate questions, but they’re not reasons to abandon the effort.

President Trump, his team, and nearly 90% of Americans are urging Senate Republicans to include as much of the SAVE America Act as possible in the resolution. If lawmakers believe these reforms are worthwhile, it makes sense to use every available legislative avenue to move them forward.

The House has already shown what’s possible. With a much narrower majority than Senate Republicans enjoy today, House Republicans managed to pass the SAVE America Act. The Senate’s procedural rules are different, but that’s all the more reason to find a path forward, not an excuse to stand still.

At its core, the issue is fairly simple. Americans should have confidence that only U.S. citizens are voting in U.S. elections. Outside Washington, that’s a principle that doesn’t require much explanation.

The House has acted despite slimmer margins. Now the Senate has an opportunity to do the same.

We’ll soon find out whether it does.
