J.D. Vance

Maybe they're a little too attached to the filibuster.

Maybe they're a little too attached to Senate procedure.

This is about the integrity of American democracy.

Like, do the people control who they elect or do some shady people?

Who actually controls the people who cast the ballots or the people who count the ballots?

We want the sovereignty to be with the people who cast the ballots, and that's why we have to get the SAVE Act passed.

So you'll hear people say all the time, and I love this argument, they'll say, well, if you look at this precinct, only three illegal aliens voted in this election.

Number one, that's three illegal aliens too many.

And number two, if it's not a big problem, then why not just allow us to check ID and exercise some basic precautions to prevent illegal aliens from voting?

I never quite understand the person who says, on the one hand, this never happens, and on the other hand,

your effort to prevent it from happening is a threat to American democracy, which is fundamentally the Democrats' argument.

By the way, it's like an 85-15 issue.

Most Democrats want voter ID because they want to protect their own vote.

But the elected leaders don't want to vote for it.

that the more control they give to the people who are counting the ballots, as opposed to those who are casting the ballots, the more control they will have because the deep state is the left.

So what happens?

I hope that it is.

That is what we're working very hard to make happen.

Now, there is also some in-between solutions we're working on.

Like, for example, can you allow the Democrats to preserve the filibuster, but actually force them to go and do a real filibuster?
