Texas Rep. Introduces The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act preventing 69 million married women from being able to register to vote.
It requires a birth certificate that matches their current name, which is a problem for women who changed their legal name when they got married

BURN IT ALL DOWN.
I don't agree w/ SAVE Act, but the pronouncements of doom do not help anything.
The Handmaids Act

If a woman retains her own maiden name when marrying, how does her husband prove he owns her?
Did the TX Rep not consider that?
(Now, don't take this as me being a die-hard dem supporter too, they have their own shit to own, but my gods those GOP girlies. Oof.)

States run elections, so we can have some confidence there, IMHO.
"The SAVE Act does not include proof of name change or a marriage certificate as acceptable proof of identity."
