I wonder how much of the push behind this is from asshole men worried that their kinder wife is secretly voting against the republicans.

I think what's funny is that if they did get that, they'd never win another election again. Literally the only pro-republican voting block is undereducated white men. If you locked out anyone who didn't have a passport, dems would have a supermajority across the country.

My friend changed her name socially, but not legally about 18 years back purely because she was too lazy to do all the paperwork it took to change your name. Now, her husband says it was one of the smartest choices she could have done and I agree.

Imagine if all those school & mass shooters instead chose corrupt politicians and billionaires...

Luigi showed us the way.

They most certainly killed a lot of people too. If not directly, then indirectly. Don’t see anything wrong with returning the favor

What’s interesting, is that many of us already do register with the state governments.

Its goal isn’t to regulate voting. It’s to suppress it.

The goal here is to keep women from voting: the SAVE act very specifically requires that you

• Prove citizenship
• That you prove that the name on your citizenship document (eg: birth certificate) match your current name

Because women often change name when they get married, they'll have a mismatch, and need to spend time and money to be able to vote. If the legislation passes, it will block about 20 million Americans from voting. Because of gender disparities in voting, Republicans see this as to their advantage.

Give your Senators a call at 202-224-3121 and ask them to block this change.

Sucks that they're capable of gestapo type tactics, then.

I'm still wondering if this is going to be another case of themselves shooting themselves in the dick.

Most major urban centers and areas with the most electoral value are populated by metropolitan people and immigrants who already are well-used to carrying their passports and copies of all their validating paperwork. I travel a lot and know a lot of immigrant families, they almost all always carry a passport as primary identification (especially right now) and have photocopies of their paperwork and related documents.

Meanwhile, across most of rural, white hicksville America, people often don't even have ID because they never left their town, and those who do may have their driver's license and not much else.

I am really unsure what the administration's plan is here. I figured they would have rolled out a voter ID law that actually helps them.

The alternative was a woman! Of color!

/s for the fucking halfwits

Ironically, passports which most non-native-born Americans already own and keep updated constantly because they often travel in and out of the country to visit family and attend events.

It's projected this is going to hurt red states more than blue, since most midwest white-as-fuck Americans who never left their hometown and are scared of the whole world don't have a shred of identification past their driver's license.

Meanwhile, most immigrant families I know have their passports and copies of their birth certificates on-hand at all times.

Some paper you lost 30 years ago

The key requirement in it requires you to have ID with the same name as proof of citizenship. Because women frequently change their name when they get married, it means that they won't have matching documents, and won't be able to vote.

Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to vote against it.
