Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) gave President Donald Trump some tough love on Wednesday, saying there’s little to no chance of his “SAVE America Act” becoming law. In an interview with Politico’s “On The Road,” Cramer was asked why more Republicans don’t tell the president he simply does not have the votes to get the legislation through Congress.“I think he knows the votes aren’t there for it, unless we blow up the filibuster, that’s the bigger philosophical question,” Cramer said. “Is there any chance of that happening?” host Jonathan Martin asked. “There’s zero chance of that happening for very good reasons,” Cramer said. The senator added he regrets that more of his colleagues who also oppose eliminating the filibuster refuse to say it publicly, giving the false impression that Trump is only a handful of votes away from getting the legislation passed. Trump, over the course of this year, has refused to give up his fixation with the bill, claiming it’s imperative to securing the country’s elections ahead of the midterms. Officially known as the “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act,” the legislation, if passed, would require all Americans to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote and a photo ID at the time of voting.The bill has the potential to disenfranchise many eligible voters who do not have access to the necessary documents to prove citizenship, such as a birth certificate or passport, according to analysis by the Bipartisan Policy Center. Trump has repeatedly contended the legislation is necessary to combat voter fraud. Studies on voter fraud have consistently found it to be an extremely rare occurrence.
