I do not believe a marriage license and a birth certificate are a poll tax. Nevertheless, that is all you need if you changed your name due to marriage.

You can argue the poll tax, if you like. But a passport is not needed. And a poll tax was a requirement to vote every time. This is id to register. Once.
SCOTUS will decide if it is a poll tax.

No, it isn’t, you are lying.

Absolutely nothing in the law says a marriage license will be an acceptable proof of name change.

Passports are $165 dollars and it costs another $15 to take a passport photo at the passport facility. If you need expedited processing, to ensure you hopefully get your passport before the 2026 midterms, that is $60 for expedited processing and $22 for expedited delivery. With the extreme influx of passport applications from this law people will be forced to pay $265 if they want to ensure they are able to vote in the 2026 midterms.

1. A passport is not required.
2. FWIW, a passport is $130--not $160. I just renewed mine. Standard delivery took about 3 weeks. You can take your picture with your phone.

And, guess what? You need a birth certificate the first time you get a passport.

Again:
YOU DO NOT NEED A PASSPORT TO VOTE UNDER THE SAVE ACT

And if you don’t have a passport, you need a drivers license and birth certificate, both of which also cost money if you need to replace them. Still a poll tax.

And the names on them have to match, and if they don't, then you need other documentation to explain why.

The point being, the burden of proof should not be on the US citizen voter here -- it should be on the government to prove alleged wrong doing if they have evidence of it. This is a Constitutional right.

And what documentation you can use to prove that change isn’t in the law— although it easily could be.

You do not need a passport. Again, a birth certificate and documentation for name change, if needed is all you need.

And if you don’t have a passport, you need a drivers license and birth certificate, both of which also cost money if you need to replace them. Still a poll tax.

And the names on them have to match, and if they don't, then you need other documentation to explain why.

The point being, the burden of proof should not be on the US citizen voter here -- it should be on the government to prove alleged wrong doing if they have evidence of it. This is a Constitutional right.

What documentation did you use to change your name on your drivers license? Your social security card?

I've done both. Here is what you need: marriage license. This is not that hard. And, it is not a poll tax.

And if you lost your marriage license, birth certificate, passport or whatever in a fire, you have to pay money for new ones. If you don’t, you can’t vote. It’s a poll tax.

If you lose anything in a fire, you have to pay to replace it. Most people don't have fires. Keep your documents in a fireproof box.

It doesn’t matter. People do lose things. They still have constitutional rights, one of which is the right to vote. You cannot charge them money to exercise that right by forcing them to pay for new documents. It is a poll tax.

Well, hopefully it passes. I guess you will have to wait for SCOTUS. But, I'm pretty sure that having appropriate ID--which is available to all citizens--is not a poll tax.

You need ID for almost everything.

You want it to pass, so then you can do something like this:

No thanks, we have seen that movie before.

A citizen can't vote if they misplace their ID on election day. You are OK with that?

Yes, they can. They can cast a provisional ballot and then provide necessary documentation later. Happens all the time without issue.

Nothing in the Constitution about it.

Most countries cover the costs for voter ID. If the GOP wants Dems support on this, that is what it will take. Maybe ask...why is the GOP opposed to provided these cards for free?

That is only if you have a passport already and are renewing. It is $160 to get one if you don’t have a passport. Drivers licenses are not proof of citizenship, birth certificates are not sufficient if you got married and changed your name. A passport is the most realistic way to prove citizenship and it costs money. They are not free. If you want to require proof of citizenship to vote make passports free and make the effective date for the voter ID portion of the law Jan 1 2028 to make sure people have time to obtain one. The bill does not require or fund any mechanism for people to prove their citizenship without costing money.

Actually in many places they can, with a provisional ballot.

+1

That is what this ultimately boils down to. Constitutionality.

You are intentionally missing the point. The proposed law does not allow you to show those documents. Cite the provision that allows it.

Do you know what a poll tax is and why we don't allow them in this free country?

Yes, that’s why I said it.

Meant to post that to the PP who suggested people who change their names can just use a passport.

All you need is birth certificate and marriage certificate (or, if you changed it for another reason, whatever documentation you have.) State will likely also require proof of residency.

This will also resolve problem of people voting in more than one state.

"All you need," huh. Poll tax.

Also, marriage certificate and "whatever documentation" are not listed in the law as acceptable documents. Cite the provision nad quote it here that allows you to use those documents. You can't.

Also "solving" a barely existant "problem" is not worth disenfranchising people from their Constitutional rights. If anything, not enough people in this county vote as it is!
