Tillis: Passing SAVE America Act before midterms is an ‘impossible task’
The Hill ^ | June 28, 2026 | Ryan Mancini

Posted on 06/28/2026 11:03:13 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) on Sunday said ensuring the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE America) Act gets passed in the Senate is an “impossible task.”

“You know, I have people telling me I need to implement the SAVE Act immediately in North Carolina, in a state that has voter ID,” Tillis told CNN’s Jake Tapper during an interview on “State of the Union.”

He then asked why “do I, over the next four months, have to try to pursue the impossible task of implementing a bill that simply can’t be imlemented in that timeframe?”

“Why are we doing more things that undermine our confidence in elections rather than getting the strong message out that will win for Republicans this year?” the North Carolina Republican added.

Tillis argued that Republicans should accept how current election laws operate and win by them, as well as telling voters about the “rise of the Democratic Socialists of America,” referring to recent wins by candidates supported by the left-wing organization in New York.

“Win by the good results that Republicans have produced and stop undermining the confidence in the elections,” said Tillis. “This is a bedrock of our 250-year history of success as the democracy that changed the world. Let’s not mess with that between now and November.”

Too late: confidence was undermined long ago.

When he, Cornyn and McConnell are all out of the Senate, you won’t find a better example of “addition by subtraction”.

Well, you can F Tillis if you want, I don’t go that way.

A better question is, “is what he says true, and if yes, what does that say about the GOP?”

“ Pass it anyway”

I’m sure if there were 50 votes for it, it would have passed a long time ago.

That is exactly the sane pathetic logic (“Republicans need to accept how current election laws operate, and win by them”)—that the Indiana RINOs used when they refused to redistrict…..absolutely disgusting!

Democrats everywhere agree 100% with that logic.

Tillis thinks Dementia Joe got 81 million votes campaigning from his basement.
