The House Clerk records Roll Call 102 on H.R.22, the SAVE Act, as an On Passage vote on Apr. 10, 2025. The measure passed 220-208. The roll call lists Rep. Lois Frankel, Democratic, FL, voting Nay.
Assessments
Frankel took concrete same-term actions aligned with defending voting access: she was an original cosponsor of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2025 and voted against the SAVE Act, which she opposed as restrictive. However, the affirmative voting-rights bill remained introduced/referred rather than enacted, and the SAVE Act passed the House despite her opposition. The promised nationwide outcome of ensuring every eligible American can vote freely and confidently was not fully delivered, but her legislative and voting record supports partial credit.
