Misnamed SAVE Act passes House

Forward Blue - The SAVE Act just passed the House — and it's heading to the Senate. If it becomes law, it could strip millions of Americans of their ability to vote.  An estimated 69 million married women who changed their last names could be blocked from registering to vote, a right protected by our Constitution. Trans Americans, disabled voters, rural communities, and the elderly face even steeper barriers, with new requirements to appear in person with documents like passports that many simply don't have.

It doesn't stop there. The SAVE Act would eliminate online voter registration entirely and ban voter registration drives, gutting the very infrastructure that helps underserved communities participate in democracy.
