Four Republicans joined Democrats to stop the Save America Act from passing the U.S. Senate on Thursday on a vote of 48-50.
The motion aimed to attach the Save America Act to the budget. The bill needed 60 votes. It aimed to ensure that only citizens vote in federal elections.
Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Susan Collins (R-ME) voted “no” along with Democrats.
