The House has passed the SAVE Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship from anyone registering to vote in federal elections. What might this mean for married women and other voters with changed names or hard-to-reach documents? We discuss the bill (and where it goes from here) with Dr. Elizabeth Matto, director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University - New Brunswick. We also learn a little more about civil rights icon Elizabeth Freeman, who is one of two women to be honored with a bust in the Massachusetts Senate Chamber.
Guest: Dr. Elizabeth Matto, director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University - New Brunswick; Greta Bedekovics, associate director of Democracy Policy at the Center for American Progress
