In the coming days, Congress is poised to take up yet another vote on the so-called SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) America Act. While the bill has been debated before, its renewed momentum makes one thing clear: The implications of the SAVE Act for women voters and women’s political representation are no longer hypothetical. They are immediate.
To help unpack what is at stake, and to provide clear, nonpartisan context as Congress moves forward, RepresentWomen is hosting a public, educational webinar on Tuesday, Feb. 10. The nonpartisan, virtual event brings together election experts and members of the Democratic Women’s Caucus, including Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (D-N.M.) and Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.), to provide clear, fact-based context, as debate over the SAVE Act intensifies on Capitol Hill.
When access to the ballot narrows, representation narrows with it. The SAVE Act would make that trade-off explicit, and women stand to lose the most.
