It’s only going to be passed as state laws in red states. Hope they’re happy with their vote! |

Kamala Harris isn’t in government. Do you know who is? Pete Hegseth. Here’s what he recently posted about women being permitted to vote. https://x.com/PeteHegseth/status/1953626931234054558 The administration isn’t hiding the ball about their plans to disenfranchise women. |
Why can't you vote with your married name? OP says she has a passport. This is an ID that proves your citizenship and eligibility to vote. Your ballot is also under you rmarried name, I assume? |
Half of americans do not have a passport. So if you are requiring Americans to obtain a passport, then the government should make passports free to all of those eligible and make it easy logistically to obtain. IOW, don't block people from filing at their local library or post office. |
Because if you took your husband's name you are no longer voting under your birth name, they will flag the inconsistency, purge you from the voter rolls and deny you your vote. |
Oh, please. If you changed your name and you work, you changed your Social Security card. And, how does one do that? You take your marriage certificate to the Social Security office. How do I know? I did it. Same with drivers license. YOU DO NOT NEED A PASSPORT TO VOTE. But, if you have your passport, you likely used your marriage license to change your name on it. I had a passport before I married and it had my maiden name. After I got married, I applied for a new passport and name change. What did I need? A marriage certificate. So, all you need to prove ID is birth certificate and marriage license. Quit fear mongering. |
Again, since we have gone over and over this in 60 pages you have not read, the legislation in question does not specifically designate a marriage license as a way to solve the problem of the difference between your birth certificate name and your drivers license name. Why do you suppose they would leave that out? |

^^^ 50 not 60, forgive the typo.
And also, AGAIN, you can stop caping for this POS legislation because it’s never going to pass. |
Because there is a provision in there for additional documentation for name discrepancies. You do know that people sometimes legally change their names for reasons other than marriage? Some people change their names simply because they do not like them. |
That provision is at the direction of the guidance of Federal body which doesn’t yet exist. Pretty easy for their “guidance” to say marriage licenses in New York are not acceptable documentation but marriage licenses in Kentucky are. 60 Million Americans changed their name at marriage. All the bill had to do was explicitly say marriage licenses were acceptable and this whole talking point would die— but it doesn’t. In a political environment where members of the cabinet are publicly opposed to women voting, it isn’t hard to see why. |

Just googled. About 1 percent have no or expired picture ID. That does not mean they are not able to get one. That may also include undocumented immigrants. Where does Harris get her information. She said 40% don't have ID. |
