The US Senate is moving away from debating Sen. Mike Lee's election reform bill, the SAVE America Act, to focus on pressing issues like Homeland Security funding and renewing government surveillance powers. The bill aims to ban noncitizens from voting and implement photo ID requirements in federal elections. Senate Majority Leader John Thune confirmed the pivot, but Lee vows to revive the bill once the current priorities are addressed. Republicans are racing to pass a spending bill funding Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement without Democratic approval, with a deadline set by President Donald Trump. The delay in debating the SAVE America Act has led some Democrats to declare victory, but Lee insists the bill is not dead. Lee's bill may be revisited after the current legislative priorities are addressed, but its eventual passage remains unclear.
