oh sure... totally makes sense for WOMEN to bring MORE documentation as extra proof to vote. Make it harder is the plan but sure continue to downplay it by saying "just bring..."

Just bring your Real ID. That’s it. Same as everyone else.

It says a REAL ID that indicates citizenship. My MD lD doesn’t indicate citizenship it just indicates that I have legal status, which I do as a citizen. So, it wouldn’t work in this situation.

That makes it more likely that it isn’t going to pass. Or, if it does, that States will drag their feet. How long have they been working on the Real ID? It’ll take forever to implement something new.

I will bring my US passport along. And my citizenship paper. And my driver's license. And my social security card. My kids will bring their birth certificate and their marriage certificate also. Thankfully, we did not have kids until we had our legal green cards in hand. Why should law abiding legal tax-paying immigrants be penalized?

I am sorry but I see no reason that people are allowed to vote without proper identification. What kind of bloody backward country is this? This nonsense does not happen in any other country.

If poor people do not have proper identification, the government needs to make sure that they have their documents with them based on biometrics.

I’m not opposed to the idea of bringing proper identification but I’m saying that the states will balk at the idea of making it too complicated. They made a big fuss about the real id and now it’s not real enough? People are going to be mad about the poor planning and extra steps.

I just got a Real ID via VA DMV. Had to get one because I had a parent hospitalized at a military hospital and did y have a passport or any other govt ID to get a longer term visitor pass.

Been married over 25 years and changed my name upon marriage. Brought what I thought was all the right documentation but then upon presenting all, clerk said I forgot to include my marriage license as proof of name change. Raced back home, grabbed a copy of my ML and returned about two hours later.

All said, just bring your marriage license.

It doesn't make sense unless the give the husband both votes. Remember, this would only hurt women who changed their last name which is usually a conservative thing.

That’s because this has nothing to do with women voting. Although it may make it a little annoying.

I guess this is an unexpected benefit of not changing my name?

Changing your name is not a conservative thing-and even if it is now, it certainly wasn’t when my 80 year old mother did it.
Ugh.

Ok.

20% of married women who are Democrats or lean Democratic are twice as likely than the 10% of Republican and Republican-leaning women to answer that they wouldn't change their last name.

This will end mail in voting and registration and will require a passport to vote. Only half of Americans have a passport.

Repeal of the 19th amendment is part of P2025. This is a step in that direction. Please read the below links for more details. If you think women have the right to vote, you should oppose this strenuously.

I encourage you to read the bill itself.

I have.

The two articles above quote the bill directly and break down the effects. The regime frequently uses poorly written bills and EOs to help camouflage what they are doing. Providing clear, understandable analysis helps people understand these destructive bills.

I read the articles and the bill. Not concerned. The analysis was not persuasive. So the bill didn’t contemplate every permutation. That’s basically every bill written. That’s what regulations are for. Women will not be disenfranchised. That’s a ridiculous assertion on its face.

And roe will never be overturned.

I don't care. 4 reasons - 1) As a South Asian immigrant, premarital sex (or unprotected sex) is never on the table. Most of our teen and twenties go in studying hard and we don't have time to fux around. 2) We can fly back to South Asia to get a medical abortion for less than $50. 3) This impacts the White Christian women who voted for Trump and I think they deserve unhappiness and 4) Poor URMs are ok with having the babies.

The vast majority of abortions are due to the unviability of the fetus - babies that are wanted. People shouldn’t have to bleed out in the parking lot for medical care. Or, fly to Southeast Asia. How embarrassing that are you quoting the price of a south Asian abortion at $50. What about the cost of the flight, genius? And what about when you are miscarrying and going septic?. I guess you were one of the south Asians that wasn’t studying, and was in fact, fuxing around based on this incredibly embarrassing nonsense argument.

* The consequences of similar laws in states like Kansas demonstrate the harm that would be replicated nationwide: When Kansas implemented a proof-of-citizenship requirement, more than 31,000 otherwise eligible voters were blocked from registering, with the burden falling disproportionately on people of color and the elderly. If enacted at the federal level, the SAVE Act could prevent millions of eligible voters from participating in elections, reinforcing structural inequalities in political representation*

Lol ok. Let me help you OP. This would never happen. Married women tend to vote red, and unmarried childless cat ladies, as our VP observed, vote blue.
