Much of the coverage surrounding the SAVE Act treats it as a familiar partisan dispute, with discussions on CNN panels and elsewhere framed in procedural terms (documentation, fraud, access) as though the disagreement turns on technical questions of election administration rather than the structure of membership in the national political community. The former way of framing the dispute keeps attention fixed on how elections are run while leaving largely unexamined how the national community is being defined based on classist, xenophobic, heterosexist, and white supremacist principles.
