Are you a #woman? Do you marry someone and change your #name? Republicans would like you to know that they don’t think you should be able to vote. If the #SAVE act passes, your driver’s license or REAL ID, isn’t good enough if your name doesn’t match your birth certificate. There are no provisions to allow for legal name changes for any reason, probably to punish trans people. But it means that up to 30% of American women will lose the right to vote with no recourse but legally changing their name back to their birth certificate name. ( Having once changed my name after a divorce, I can tell you that it is an absolute nightmare of bureaucracy. I’m not looking forward to the expense and hassle again.)
