“Those changes could make it harder for some eligible Americans, including married women whose legal names have been changed, seniors, military families and others to register and cast a ballot. Even more fundamentally, those changes are separate from the question of congressional ethics reform. Republicans are desperate to pass the SAVE act and undermine free and fair elections in our country.

This is a shameful politicization of two important and historically bipartisan issues, our national defense and ethics reform.” (03:21–03:26)
