๐ก Why it matters
President Trump asked for this vote to see which Republicans would stand against it.
โ๏ธ Context: The amendment could not survive the Senate's reconciliation (Byrd) rule, so some no votes were about procedure. Tillis says he supports the SAVE Act but opposes "show votes"; Murkowski says the bill as written would keep rural Alaskans from registering.
