This is a massive win. If we can prevent fascist voter suppression and intimidation from happening, we stand a chance of turning things around in a few months.
“The bill failed with only 52 Republicans voting for it, well short of the 60-vote threshold needed…Some Republicans wanted the Senate to bypass recess until the SAVE America Act was passed, but there wasn’t enough support among their party for that either.”
To be clear, I believe that voting is a very small part of fighting fascism. But it is still one of the tools. If the system isn’t compromised, it adds great value.
