How likely for save act to pass senate?

[Anonymous]

I changed my last name but have a passport. I’m registered to vote in PA. My sister thinks it will definitely pass and screw over all married women who changed names. I think she’s jumping the gun along with a lot people apparently on social media. Why isn’t anyone talking about this on dcum?

People are talking about it. It's a draconian law to solve a rare problem, that will potentially hurt married women when they try to vote. But sadly, it's not the worst thing Republicans are doing to women under this administration.

Democrats opposing the bill framed it as an unnecessary effort to address a rare practice that is already illegal. And they warned that the legislation would have substantial unintended consequences, making it more difficult for large swaths of Americans — including women who change their name upon marriage — to vote.

“Republicans would force Americans into a paperwork nightmare, burying voter registration under a mountain of bureaucracy and red tape,” Representative Joseph D. Morelle of New York said.

Much of their argument focused on married women whose birth certificates have names that do not match their current legal names. Democrats argued that they would find it difficult to produce the documentation required by the bill, thus disenfranchising them.

“Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?” Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former secretary of state and Democratic presidential nominee, wrote in a message on social media. “Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.” Her post urged women to call their congressional representatives to oppose the bill, and after the measure passed, she added another message encouraging them to “make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.”

Mr. Morelle responded to every Republican who spoke in favor of the measure by citing the number of women in their district who might be affected by it and the number of residents without passports who might find themselves unable to register to vote.

Apparently it passed?

Thankfully I have a passport but my birth certificate is obviously not under my married name.

This is insanity.

Passports cost $130. This is a poll tax.

3-4 Democrats in the House voted for it.

WHY???

I don’t think Republicans consider it a problem for women to not be allowed to vote.

Not only this, but it takes a while to get them and will probably end up with a massive backlog of people trying to get them to vote.

Because Dems and Reps can agree that America hates women. Warms the heart really.

They should- lots of married conservative women vote for them. I think a majority white women voted for Trump, right?

It's hard to keep up. This one needs a lot more attention though.

But if they get their wish of just white men voting, they win in a landslide! White women always side with white patriarchy thinking they will benefit, even though history shows, it always turns on them as well.
