密苏里州联邦参议员乔希·霍利（共和党籍）批评了四名共和党同僚，他们与民主党人联手阻止将《保护美国选民资格法案》（SAVE法案）纳入参议院和解法案。霍利称：“我无法理解你们为何不投票支持选民身份证法案。”
在周四的投票马拉松环节，缅因州联邦参议员苏珊·柯林斯（共和党籍）、阿拉斯加州联邦参议员丽莎·默科夫斯基（共和党籍）、肯塔基州联邦参议员米奇·麦康奈尔（共和党籍）和北卡罗来纳州联邦参议员汤姆·蒂利斯（共和党籍）与民主党人一道，否决了一项将这项选举诚信法案附加到共和党预算法案中的修正案。
“我想这是出于挫败感，”霍利告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“听着，我们密苏里州已经推行这项政策多年了。我的州选民已经将其写入了州宪法。”

“选民身份证法案是当前最受欢迎的政策之一，”他继续说道。“这背后是有原因的。民众希望选举安全、公平。对我来说，我无法理解你们为何不投票支持选民身份证法案。我就是搞不懂。”
周四晚间，共和党人未能在参议院通过该法案，尽管他们就将该法案纳入约700亿美元的预算和解法案进行了数月辩论，该法案旨在为移民海关执法局（ICE）和边境巡逻队提供资金。

多名投票否决《拯救美国法案》的参议员辩称，专门针对选民身份证法和保护选举诚信的法案应由州层面决定，不应交由联邦管辖。
霍利驳斥了将选举规则完全交由州政府处理的说法，他指出国会长期以来一直在规范联邦选举。
“我们一直在制定联邦选举规则，你知道的，”霍利说。“我们一直都在这么做。而保护选票的完整性是最基本的事情，这也正是这项法案的意义所在。”

多年来，国会已经颁布了多部与选举相关的法律，其中包括2022年两党通过的《选举点票改革法案》，该法案修订了总统选举结果认证程序。
《拯救美国法案》将要求申请人在登记参加联邦选举时提供美国公民身份的书面证明，并要求选民在联邦选举投票时出示带照片的身份证件。

“已有37个州实施了选民身份证法，包括多个蓝州，”霍利在回应“选举规则应交由州政府处理”的观点时说道。“所以我认为这种‘这很怪异、很反常、很离谱’的说法根本站不住脚，事实并非如此。我们大多数州都已经推行了这项政策。”
“这项法案迟早会获得通过，因为我认为美国民众会要求这么做。”

WATCH: Hawley fumes after 4 GOP senators help sink Trump-backed voter ID law
Collins, Murkowski, McConnell and Tillis argued election integrity should be determined at the state level

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., criticized four fellow Republicans who joined Democrats to block an effort to add the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to the Senate’s reconciliation package, saying “you can’t explain it to me why you wouldn’t vote for voter ID.”
During Thursday’s vote-a-rama, Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., voted with Democrats to defeat an amendment that would have attached the election-integrity measure to the GOP’s budget package.
“I guess it’s frustration,” Hawley told Fox News Digital. “Listen, we’ve been doing this in Missouri for years. I mean voters in my state put it in our constitution.”

“Voter ID is the most popular thing out there,” he continued. “There’s a reason for that. People want their elections to be safe, they want them to be fair. And to me, you can’t explain it to me, why you wouldn’t vote for voter ID. I just don’t understand it.”
Republicans, yet again, failed to pass the legislation Thursday night through the Senate, despite months debating the importance of attaching it to the roughly $70 billion budget reconciliation package to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol.

Many senators who voted to block the SAVE act argued that a bill dedicated to voter ID laws and protecting election integrity should be determined at state-level, and should not have federal jurisdiction.
Hawley rejected arguments that election rules should be left solely to the states, arguing Congress has long played a role in regulating federal elections.
“We make federal rules all the time for elections, you know,” Hawley said. “I mean all the time we do. And there’s nothing more basic than protecting the integrity of the ballot and that’s what this is about.”

Congress has enacted numerous election-related laws over the years, including the bipartisan Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022, which revised procedures for certifying presidential election results.
The SAVE Act would require applicants to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections and would require voters to present photo identification when casting a ballot in federal elections.

“37 states have voter ID already including several blue states,” Hawley said in response to the idea that election rules should be left to the state. “So I think this idea that this is like ‘this is weird, this is exotic, this is out there,’ no it’s not. Like most of our states do it.”
“Sooner or later this is going to happen because I think the American people are going to demand it.”
