The bill will have to pass in the Senate before Donald Trump can sign it into law.

If it passes, it would be the first federal law in our history restricting access to voting.
That would keep out many more eligible voters and cause chaos for election administration.
Here are the facts.
How does it impact women?
Early research indicates that it would disproportionately impact voters of color and young voters.
And theres a chance this may not even be an accident.
This was a common argument against womens suffrage before the 19th Amendment was passed.
And it should be noted thatProject 2025 explicitly condones and seeks to enforcethis sort of family structure.
What comes next?
Currently, theRepublicans also have a majority in the Senate, with 53 Republicans to 45 Democrats.
Senators Bernie Sanders and Angus King are Independents, but caucus with the Democrats.
Should we panic yet?
We dont need to apply for asylum in Canada just yet, but we should all be concerned.
If we speak up, we can verify the SAVE Act never becomes law, says Weiser.
Invite your friends and family to do the same, Weiser tellsGlamour.
And we dont have to stop there.
We can demand law reforms that actually expand voting rights.
We can verify we are registered to vote and make a plan to vote in the next election.
And we can encourage others in our community to do the same.
