The act would require proof of citizenship and eligibility to vote and would limit broad mail-in voting; it passed the House but stalled in the Senate due to a lack of votes to cloture. The piece discusses the potential use of a talking filibuster, with supporters arguing for a substantive filibuster to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-are-going-to-shoot-themselves-in-the-foot-over-looming-shutdown-karl-rove\/\" title=\"Karl Rove predicts Republicans will harm themselves with upcoming shutdown.\">force negotiations<\/a> and opponents warning it could amount to a delaying tactic or empower Senate leadership to control the agenda. After the recess, Thune spoke in favor of the bill in principle but emphasized Democratic obstruction and defended voter ID as popular, citing polls that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fcc-commissioner-lauds-desantis-for-pushing-biden-to-give-internet-to-cuba-can-get-to-work-immediately\/\" title=\"FCC Commissioner Lauds DeSantis For Pushing B...en To Give Internet To Cuba: \u2018Can Get To Work Immediately\u2019\">show strong support<\/a> for ID across parties.
