If there's a talking filibuster, a lot of stuff read by Democrats go into the public domain and Congressional Record.

Imagine how a lot of Republican women realizing their votes won't count because they lack a passport, birth certificate, driver's license, and/or the ability to show they are the same person but with their husband's last name. And not enough time to get this all fixed (re-registering and all that) by November. Their right to vote has been taken away by their "Favorite President".

They won't care about "illegal, foreign" voters. They'll care about THEIR right to vote.

And when Democrats explain the SAVE Act over and over and over during their filibuster, they WILL understand.

Plus, DO Republicans have the 51 votes to pass it with the talking filibuster? All that's needed is to flip two votes.

And the Republicans in the Senate who do vote to enact it have put a target on their backs, because they've handed another issue to Democrats for the Midterm Election.
