参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党参议员查克·舒默与参议院民主党人几乎一致否决了《保护美国选民资格法案》（SAVE法案），该选举诚信法案本周早些时候已在众议院通过。
舒默将该法案称为”吉姆·克劳2.0″，称其会压制选民而非鼓励更安全的选举。

但费特曼多次拒绝党内宣传和立场，对舒默的法案解读提出异议。
“我绝不会将SAVE法案称为’吉姆·克劳2.0’或某种大规模阴谋，”费特曼在《美国周六》节目中对福克斯新闻的凯莉·麦肯尼表示。
“但这正是我们现在在参议院进行的辩论的一部分，”他继续说道，”我不会给人贴标签，也不会暗示这与吉姆·克劳的可怕历史有什么肮脏的联系。”
该法案要求选民投票前出示带照片的身份证件，登记投票时需当面提供公民身份证明，并要求各州将非公民从选民名单中剔除。

共和党内部支持该法案的势头正在增强。缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯成为该党第50名支持该立法的成员。但参议院民主党人几乎已确保该法案在参议院下院（注：应为”参议院”）夭折，通过阻挠议事规则阻止其通过。

费特曼不愿直接表示是否支持该法案。不过他指出，”84%的美国人对[投票时出示身份证件]没有异议。”
“所以这不是一个激进的想法，”费特曼说，”它不是什么——而且已经有许多州实施了基本的身份证要求。这就是我们在参议院的现状。”

即使费特曼在参议院支持该法案，若不进行重大程序性修改，法案也不太可能通过。
目前，参议院克服60票阻挠议事门槛的票数仍不足。
费特曼也不热衷于废除阻挠议事规则——这一立场与大多数参议院共和党人一致。

他指出，参议院民主党人曾支持废除阻挠议事规则，但现在在共和党控制的政府中处于少数党地位时却希望保留这一规则。
“我也在竞选活动中呼吁过废除它，”费特曼说，”我的意思是，我们当时想废除它是非常错误的。我们真的应该谦虚地提醒人们，我们曾希望废除它——而现在我们却爱上了它。”

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., is continuing his streak of breaking with his party — this time on voter ID legislation gaining momentum in the Senate.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Senate Democrats have near-unanimously rejected the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, election integrity legislation that made its way through the House earlier this week.
Schumer has dubbed the legislation “Jim Crow 2.0,” arguing it would suppress voters rather than encourage more secure elections.

But Fetterman, who has repeatedly rejected his party’s messaging and positions, pushed back on Schumer’s framing of the bill.
“I would never refer to the SAVE Act as like Jim Crow 2.0 or some kind of mass conspiracy,” Fetterman told Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany on “Saturday in America.”
“But that’s part of the debate that we were having [here in the Senate] right now,” he continued. “And I don’t call people names or imply that it’s something gross about the terrible history of Jim Crow.”
The bill would require voters to present photo identification before casting ballots, require proof of citizenship in person when registering to vote and mandate states remove non-citizens from voter rolls.

Momentum is building among Republicans. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, became the 50th member of the conference to back the legislation. But Senate Democrats have all but guaranteed its demise in the upper chamber, via the filibuster.

Fetterman would not say whether he supports the bill outright. However, he noted that “84% of Americans have no problem with [presenting IDs to vote].”
“So it’s not like a radical idea,” Fetterman said. “It’s not something — and there already are many states that show basic IDs. So that’s where we are in the Senate.”

Even if Fetterman were to support the bill on the floor, it is unlikely to pass without more significant procedural changes.
There are currently not enough votes to overcome the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster threshold.
Fetterman is also not keen on eliminating the filibuster — a position shared by most Senate Republicans.

He noted that Senate Democrats once favored scrapping the filibuster but now want to preserve it while in the minority in a Republican-controlled government.
“I campaigned on it, too,” Fetterman said. “I mean we were very wrong about that to nuke the filibuster. And we should really humble ourselves and remind people that we wanted to eliminate it — and now we love it.”
