I’ve read conflicting information about this: I am a married woman, and have my US passport with my married name, would that be enough proof?
I also saw somebody mention naturalized citizens and needing their home birth certificate. But if you have your naturalized citizen paperwork, your US passport, your real ID would you be affected? |
No one knows. If this passes, there will be a scramble to interpret the new rules and implement them before the elections. The confusion and the chaos is the point. Do you have the time and resources to sue the government if someone decides that your IDs aren't good enough and prevents you from voting? That's what they are banking on—that this will gum up the works to keep enough of the "wrong" kind of people from voting for the "wrong" kind of leaders. |
No, it would not be enough, unless you brought your marriage license with you to vote, or reverted to your maiden name on all of your documents, matching your birth certificate. |
Liberal woman here and very glad I did not change my name. I’ll be voting early and often.
|
Can you point me to where it says you must use your birth certificate to prove citizenship and why wouldn’t the US passport be enough? |
I think the passport would be enough from my reading. But my bet is that they will target Democrats and try to nullify whatever documentation they have. |
| Republicans don't care if this actually passes or not. At the end of the day, it's simply propaganda to perpetuate the false claims of voter fraud. It won't pass and every time Democrats win an election, Republicans will scream "voter fraud!! That's why they were against requiring proof of citizenship to vote! They want illegals to vote so they can win!" And all the MAGA idiots eat it up. |
This. It’s so obvious. The plan is just to sow uncertainty so Trump can try to pull another coup. Let’s not forget all the screaming he did about mail-in ballots months before the 2020 election. It’s the exact same playbook. |
Read the law...the documentation has to match the birth certificate. |
I suppose that’s what I am asking. I read the law and I didn’t see that so maybe I am reading the wrong parts. “b) Documentary Proof of United States Citizenship.--As used in this Act, the term `documentary proof of United States citizenship' means, with respect to an applicant for voter registration, any of the following: ``(1) A form of identification issued consistent with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States. ``(2) A valid United States passport. ``(3) The applicant's official United States military identification card, together with a United States military record of service showing that the applicant's place of birth was in the United States. ``(4) A valid government-issued photo identification card issued by a Federal, State or Tribal government showing that the applicant's place of birth was in the United States. ``(5) A valid government-issued photo identification card issued by a Federal, State or Tribal government other than an identification described in paragraphs …” There’s more but too much to copy-paste https://www.congress.gov/congressional-record/volume-170/issue-114/house-section/article/H4556-1 |
the passport isn't enough if a married person takes their spouses name |
|
As a Democrat- I am fine with the SAVE act passing because of the following:
-wealthy Democrats have a passport -more conservative women change their name at marriage so they are more impacted -more college educated people have a passport (only 1 in 4 non-college grads have one) -if you earn under 50K- only 1 in 5 have a passport and these are most likely republicans. I like when Republicans shoot themselves in the foot so pass it. |
Again, where does it say that in the law please. |
+1 You can also tell by the amount of effort the maga bots are putting into arguing. This will be the new caravans approaching the border. |
Yes, apparently a Passport would work, but most Americans don't have a passport, and even fewer republican women ahhahahhaa. |
