Cis women, trans people, and abuse victims. Their favourite targets.

It won't stop married women from voting but it just creates a huge pain in the ass plus basically a poll tax. Since you'll have to pay for copies of your birth certificate, plus getting your marriage license, and of course an ID.

Unconstitutional, but this admin wipes it's ass with that document anyways.

I think it'll disenfranchise more Republicans than Democrats.

First, while women are generally Democrats, the married demographic is more right wing. Especially the ones who changed their names

Second, Dems will be way more motivated that Republicans and will be more willing to jump over a hurdle to vote.

How funny that they constantly provide more incentive to NOT get married

Fascism

Does that mean Alabama women are safe?

Oh happy day when MAGA Karens learn this when they try to vote.

No ma'am, hyphenating your name isn't what's on your birth certificate.

Every day that passes, I hate these people more and more.

Seems to me that if your birth name and married name match, this will disproportionately favor people who marry their siblings or other relatives. I wonder what political leaning that particular segment has 🤔

Why on earth is a birth certificate used at all for identification?

20-30% of women keep their maiden name after marriage.

Liberal women are roughly twice as likely as conservative women to keep their maiden name.

So yeah, conservative women screwing themselves and also handing a minor edge to liberal women.

Won’t matter when he cancels elections cause we are in multiple wars.

why would a married name match a birth certificate name? or are they saying they only marry relatives? do women change birth certs when married? I am not a woman.

but funny story i adoped my stepson after his mom died. he was 14 or so. he was issued a new birth certificate and the “mother” area is … blank.

Easy solution, just don't marry anyone with a different last name.

They'll go after each demographic whose voting habits favour democrats: Immigrants, women, educated, non-christian, poor, lbgtq+, young, non-white. Whichever ones you belong to, makes you a potential target of voter disenfranchisement. At he same time making it easier for: old, male, white, Christian, wealthy, uneducated, straight, multi-generational American.

They've managed to antagonize straight marriages, bravo. This is quite possibly the most effective way to get people to think twice before getting married.

Does SAVE require documentary proof of citizenship to vote, or just to register? As I understand it, documentary proof of citizenship is the specific requirement that's hard for anyone who has had a change of name to meet short of a passport or an EDL in the 5 states that offer one.

MAGA women usually are still using their first husbands last name so it’ll suck for them too

Not having any form of national ID really does lead to some goofy shit when you need to positivly identify people.

Looking forward to being a future target for never having married and/or taken a man’s name next!

None of us are safe until all of us are safe.

It's not like it's impossible for such people to vote, but getting your documents in order costs money.
Same for voting on a weekday, voting offices being only in affluent neighbourhoods, voting demanding an ID .....

No money, no democracy.

This is from USA Today. This is where political journalism is:

Will the SAVE America Act pass the Senate? Odds, predictions

The odds of the SAVE America Act passing the Senate and signed into law in 2026 are 12% according to the Polymarket betting odds, and the Kalshi market odds show 13.9% confidence that it will become law.

If I’m not married can I vote twice?

Do the Republicans really think they are going to benefit from a requirement that disenfranchises people who don't have proof of citizenship like:

-Women who got married and took their husbands last name
-People who keep getting divorced over and over again
-People who have never travelled outside the US

Bear in mind that the people who are basically guaranteed to have their documents in order are:

-Recently naturalized citizens
-People who travel a lot
-Unmarried women
-People who graduated college

So your local lesbian coven of naturalized middle aged Latinas. They are going to have zero problem voting. Joe Bob the cousin fucker from Alabama who has never gotten more than 20 miles from his trailer park and doesn't believe in "the gummet", and hasn't had a job that didn't pay cash in his whole life? Yeah, that fucker doesn't have a passport.

But hey, at least they are going to stop all the undocumented immigrants who already weren't allowed to register to vote in the first place.

This is going to be like how they attacked absentee voting without realizing that the majority of absentees were retirees and the military.

I guess all those blue haired feminists that refused to get married or change their last names still get to vote
