The US House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on a previously little-known election bill called the "Protecting American Voters Act" next week, which has now become a hot topic among far-right activists and a divisive core issue for the Republican Party. The "Protecting American Voters Act" aims to tighten voter registration standards. Despite the strong pressure from Trump, Musk, and others, the legislative path of the bill is still facing strong resistance. The Democratic Party is likely to obstruct the bill's passage in the Senate through lengthy debates, and the Republican Party currently does not seem to intend to take unconventional measures to overcome this obstacle. However, given the increasing concern within the Republican Party that the party is not acting effectively in addressing core issues of concern to the American people, particularly the issue of rising prices, the House Republican leadership and key senators have decided to prioritize the election security issue as a core agenda item.
