← SAVE Act: Proof-of-Citizenship Voting Requirement

Outlets disagree on this: naturalnews.com reports the four Republican defectors as Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, John McCain, and Rand Paul; however, other reporting (cluster 1169) identifies Collins, McConnell, Murkowski, and Tillis as the Republicans who voted against the SAVE Act. The inclusion of John McCain and Rand Paul in one account versus McConnell and Tillis in another represents an incompatible version of the same vote.
