Jenny Beth Martin takes you inside the Arizona rally with Scott Pressler, founder of Early Vote Action, and Merissa Caldwell of EZAZ as the fight to pass the SAVE America Act intensifies in the United States Senate. Recorded live in front of grassroots activists in Maricopa County, this episode captures Scott's ultimatum to Republican holdouts, Jenny Beth's full breakdown of the bill's journey from the House to the Senate, and the moment they received word during the rally that shots had been fired at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
What you will hear:
• Scott Pressler's case for early voting and his story of flipping Pennsylvania's Senate seat for Dave McCormick by 15,000 votes
• A direct ultimatum to Senator John Cornyn ahead of the May 26th Texas Senate runoff
• Why Senator Bill Cassidy, Senator Lisa Murkowski, and Senator Mitch McConnell blocked voter ID in the reconciliation bill
• How Justin Heap, Maricopa County's Recorder, brought the SAVE system to Arizona, and why every county in America should follow
• Jenny Beth's full legislative timeline: from her January 2024 meeting with Senator Mike Lee and Cleta Mitchell, through Speaker Mike Johnson getting the bill across the House twice, to the Senate parliamentarian ending the talking filibuster strategy
• Why Arizona's bifurcated ballot lets over 40,000 non-citizen-verified voters cast federal ballots
• The doctor's office argument that destroys every excuse against voter ID
