In this week’s Democracy Does, I sat down with Greta Bedekovics of the Center for American Progress to break down the proposed SAVE Act—and what it could mean for everyday voters.
At its core, the SAVE Act would dramatically change how Americans register to vote. Instead of the current, accessible system—often online or through the DMV using a driver’s license or Social Security number—the bill would require in-person registration with documents like a passport or certified birth certificate. For millions, that’s not simple. Nearly half of Americans don’t have a passport, and many—especially married women—may not have documentation that matches their legal name.
