参议院共和党人正准备就特朗普支持的投票权法案展开激烈的全院表决斗争，而另一位共和党参议员计划对该法案投反对票。
北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员托马斯·蒂利斯（Thom Tillis）将不支持《保护美国选民资格法案》（Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility，简称SAVE America Act）。这一决定可能会给共和党下周迫使参议院民主党人在一项又一项艰难投票中陷入困境的计划带来变数。
“我投反对票，”蒂利斯表示，”我将尽我所能阻止它甚至进入下一步流程。”

蒂利斯提出了另一种方案，他认为如果共和党人真的”重视”投票权立法，就应该考虑通过立法激励各州采用这一做法，并以此换取联邦资金。否则，这些资金将用于确保”选举完整性”的监督。
“谁会反对呢？你知道，然后继续推进，加州，如果你们想要推动[邮寄选票收集]，那就用你们自己的资金来做吧，因为我们会把钱花在监督选举上，确保你们依法行事。”蒂利斯说道。
他对该法案的抵制源于特朗普总统要求共和党人利用冗长辩论（talking filibuster）强行通过该法案，绕过参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer，D-N.Y.）和民主党人的阻挠。

参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（John Thune，R-S.D.）和共和党人制定了一项计划，将该法案提交全院表决，但并未采用冗长辩论的方式。这是因为共和党内部缺乏足够的团结来阻止民主党人提出的可能大幅修改法案的修正案。
然而，这一流程实质上是冗长辩论的变体，将允许共和党人在全院表决期间提出大量修正案，以进行马拉松式的辩论。尽管如此，这并不会降低通过法案所需的简单多数门槛——而冗长辩论本可以做到这一点。
共和党人深知该法案注定会失败，因此正试图通过全院表决策略将责任归咎于舒默和民主党人。

但蒂利斯曾是该法案前身《SAVE法案》的共同提案人，他不同意特朗普对法案提出的修改建议，其中包括：有限制地禁止邮寄选票、禁止男性参加女性体育赛事以及禁止对未成年人进行变性手术。
“你知道，直接照搬白宫的措辞，而不理解其对各州政治和程序的影响，这听起来不像是让那些身处斗争前沿的人——也就是那些寻求连任的人——来决定我们下周应该如何投票，”蒂利斯表示。

蒂利斯与阿拉斯加州共和党参议员莉萨·穆尔科斯基（Lisa Murkowski）共同反对该法案。他们的反对加上宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员约翰·费特曼宣布，在特朗普批评邮寄选票的背景下，他不会在”当前状态”下支持该法案，这使得共和党在试图就该法案展开辩论时几乎没有容错空间。

Tillis breaks with Trump on voter ID legislation as GOP preps key vote | Fox News
Tillis joins Murkowski in opposing the SAVE America Act, creating razor-thin margin for GOP floor strategy

Senate Republicans are gearing up for a floor battle over Trump-backed voter ID legislation, but another GOP senator plans to oppose it.
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., won’t support the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, a decision that could throw a wrench into the GOP’s plan to force Senate Democrats into tough vote after tough vote next week.
“I’m a no,” Tillis said. “I’m going to do everything I can to prevent it from even moving forward.”

He did offer an alternative, arguing that if Republicans were “serious” about voter ID, they’d consider legislation that incentivized states to use the practice in exchange for federal funding. If not, the money would go toward ensuring “election integrity” oversight.
“Who could be against that? You know, and then rock on, California, if you want to enable [ballot harvesting,” Tillis said. “Make sure you do it on your nickels, because we’re going to spend the money to oversee the elections to make sure you did it legally.”
His resistance to the bill comes after President Donald Trump demanded that Republicans ram the bill through Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Senate Democrats’ blockade with a talking filibuster.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., and Republicans landed on a plan to put the bill on the floor that doesn’t take the route of a talking filibuster, given that there isn’t enough unity among Republicans to block Democrats’ amendments that could drastically change the bill.
However, that process is in the spirit of the talking filibuster and will allow Republicans to load up amendments on the floor for a marathon debate session. Still, it won’t lower the threshold to pass the bill with just a simple majority, something the talking filibuster would have done.
Republicans know it’s destined to fail and are trying to shift blame to Schumer and Democrats with their floor strategy.

But Tillis, who was a co-sponsor of the bill’s predecessor called the SAVE Act, disagreed with the changes Trump proposed to the legislation, which included banning mail-in ballots with limited exceptions, halting men in women’s sports and stopping transgender surgeries for minors.
“You know, taking the language from the White House without understanding the [state-by-state implications, politically and procedurally, just doesn’t sound like we’re letting the people at the tip of the spear — that’s these people running for re-election — define what we should be voting on next week,” Tillis said.

Tillis joins Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, in opposing the bill. Their defection, coupled with Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., announcing on CBS’ “The Takeout with Major Garrett” that he wouldn’t support the legislation in its “current state” over Trump’s criticism of mail-in balloting, gives the GOP a razor-thin margin of error in trying to even open debate on the bill.
