The Save Act Will STRIP Married Women Of Their Right To Vote!! TabithaSpeaksPolitics Feb 11, 2025
GOP’s SAVE Act Could Stop Married Women From Voting The Logical Leftist Feb 14, 2025
It definitely seems to target married people who’ve taken their spouse’s name or have had a legal name change for whatever reason. There would be extra hoops to go through in order to prove you could vote. It seems that anyone who has changed their name would need a passport, because no other verification of name change seems to count if your current name doesn’t match your birth certificate. So it’s pretty much at a minimum a type of poll tax, since getting a passport isn’t exactly cheap, and isn’t a default document that most Americans will have because many Americans never leave the country, so it will disproportionately affect lower income married women who change their surnames.
My letter to reps:
I oppose the SAVE Act because it will be used to disenfranchise lawful voters like me. It seems to unfairly target married women with hurdles, basically making things troublesome for people who’ve had a name change. It’s unacceptable and unAmerican.
