Who holds Congress accountable when rules are broken? Far too often, no one does. That needs to change. Campaign Legal Center's Kedric Payne joined @LisaDNews on @NewsHour to discuss how the lack of congressional ethics enforcement and transparency leaves voters in the dark.

The SAVE Act would silence the voices of millions of Americans by imposing burdensome barriers to voter registration, forcing voters to jump through extra hoops. The Senate must vote no on the anti-voter SAVE Act.
