Why a Republican plan could disqualify married women from voting in the midterms
The save act in congress won’t just hit married women, it will keep some married men from voting as well. One will be me. The save act the republicans are pushing would require your birth ceertific and driver’s license to match to register to vote. Also according to this report the photo ID must be a passport which I did not know, and if true most lower income people don’t have one. They cost over 200 dollars. Mine don’t because when we got married I took Ron’s last name. I think everyone can understand why. But my license has my married name of course, but my birth certificate has my adopting parents last name. Hugs.
