Video Description

U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) joined Alex Padilla (D-CA), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, and several Democratic colleagues to hold the Senate floor in an effort to defeat President Trump and Republicans’ anti-voter agenda, including the so-called SAVE America Act and the President’s illegal Executive Order attacking mail-in voting and absentee ballots. At the behest of President Trump, a coalition of right-wing Republicans are pushing the anti-voter SAVE America Act to try to burden the voter registration process and provide the Trump White House with unprecedented control over elections, vote count certification, and voter purging. Even leading red state election officials have called the legislation problematic and unworkable. As Republicans now threaten to try to pass voter suppression policies through the budget reconciliation process, Reed, Padilla and their colleagues will speak up today to reiterate their commitment to opposing the so-called SAVE America Act and Trump’s election “takeover” as long as it takes to protect the ability of all eligible American voters to participate in future elections.
