Listen below:

Tune in weekdays for 10-min daily news roundups:

As Congress debates the SAVE America Act (a major election bill that could change how Americans register and vote), we break down what’s actually in it, and what it could mean in this major election year.

Supporters say it’s about strengthening election security. Critics argue it could create new barriers for millions of eligible voters.

In this episode, Wren Orey, director of the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Elections Project, explains the key provisions, the data about non-citizen voting, and why many local officials are warning about making major changes right now.
