Episode 1: $63 to Prove I'm a Citizen — The SAVE Act, Part 1 of 3
A bill in Congress could put a price tag on your right to vote — and if your name’s ever changed, that’s not the only surprise waiting for you.
Episode 1 of the Clear Reception podcast digs into the SAVE Act: the $63+ cost of proving citizenship, the documents that count as proof of citizenship, the gap that hits married and divorced women, the federal penalties that already exist for non-citizen voting being applied to election officials, and a shock-glove story about ICE that’s straight out of a Spider-Man comic. Also, what Fritz is reading and listening to this week.
