Senator Thom Tillis Vows to Block SAVE America Act

Retiring North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis used a Senate floor speech to announce he will use every procedural tool at his disposal to stall the SAVE America Act, a voter‑ID measure that would require proof of citizenship to vote. Tillis warned that if a reconciliation bill reaches the Senate, he will "slow down the wheels of government" to prevent its passage.

Tillis, who has previously opposed similar legislation, criticized the bill as flawed and said it could undermine public confidence in elections. His threat comes as the House has approved the measure and is poised to pursue a fast‑track reconciliation process, raising the possibility of a Senate vote despite the party’s slim majority.
