One of the goals of President Trump's speech on election security last week was to create support for the Save America Act, NPR's Moralias and reports. It's a bill that would change the way U.S. elections are run. The Save Act would among other things require a passport or birth certificate to register to vote and it would curtail mail in voting.
President Trump says it will help Republicans. If we terminate the filibuster as we should do and immediately vote for the Save America Act, then we will not lose an election for 100 years. Polls show a majority of Americans approve a requiring photo ID to vote, but they don't want to get rid of mail-in voting, which is popular in many red states.
Republican leaders in the Senate have told the President they don't have the votes to pass
the bill and are not willing to end the filibuster. And some Republicans say they'd rather the President tell voters how he will solve problems
“more important to them this year, such as high prices for gas, food, and housing.”
