Who Is This Guy? Dirty John Thune Announces Senate Recess for Month of August Without Passing SAVE Act to Secure Elections

A recent Pew Research poll found that 83% of Americans support voter ID for elections. The number includes 95% of law-abiding Republicans and 71% of Democrats.

But not Majority Leader John Thune. He really doesn’t care. Just who is he reporting to?

Hollywood actor James Woods wants to know who runs John Thune. We all want to know.

Woods made the comments on The Benny Johnson Show.

Thune adjourned the worthless US Senate on Friday for an August recess without passing the SAVE Act.

The SAVE America Act has passed the US House of Representatives but NOT the US Senate.

The key elements to the law include:

** Voters must provide a proof of US citizenship to register to vote.

** A photo ID is required to vote.

** States would be required to take ongoing steps to remove non-citizens from voter rolls for federal elections.

It’s common sense. There is NOTHING radical about the bill. So why are Democrats so against this law? And, why is John Thune against this law?

None of it makes sense. But what does make sense is John Thune left our elections vulnerable for another cycle by refusing to pass the SAVE Act into law before the midterm election.

Tuesday, August 4th, was the cutoff for completing systematic list-maintenance programs that remove ineligible voters under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).

According to Grok AI:

Under the NVRA (52 U.S.C. § 20507(c)(2)(A)), states must complete any program whose purpose is to systematically remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters no later than 90 days before a primary or general election for federal office. For the November 3, 2026, general election, this 90-day quiet period begins on or around August 5, 2026 (exactly 90 days prior). Systematic programs therefore need to be finished by August 4, 2026.
