So if you still have your birth certificate you can still vote, right?

Not if you have married and changed your name

suepat.bsky.social•18 days ago

Well here if that was the law (which is isn't because we are not stupid, mean and cruel), I would simply change my name back to my maiden name. $35 and a 2 month wait and done. And for a MAGGAt husband, that will be a slap in the face they deserve.

Yes, women can do that. But why? I’ve been married 26 years and have 2 children and a husband with whom I currently share a name. And now, because of some small minded attempt to silence my vote, I need to change that?

If the law comes into force and you still want to vote, then yes. Yes you will have to change your name back.

nicolefrompgh.bsky.social•18 days ago

I just voted in the Canadian federal election. I showed my drivers license, which has my birthdate, signature, and current address. The clerk looked up my registration, which is updated when I file my taxes (already done, and the refund already spent). If Canada can do this, so can the US.

I know pre-election the women issues were covered and still the majority refused to vote to keep their rights. They refused to honor themselves. Why, why???

Ok women, hyphenate your name with your husbands if you choose, but always put your last name first!! Women are not property and why should you just erase your family’s surname and take his?

So our imbecile VP wouldn't be able to vote? Or Marjorie Traitor Green? How many of the idiots in congress would this effect? Think they'll figure it out?

Won’t it have to get passed a filibuster?

liberallibbie.bsky.social•18 days ago

If we all make a lot of noise, Trump can be impeached and removed. Support Congressman Al Green in his efforts to remove Trump.
Call his office and show him some love! Washington DC office: (202) 225 7508 & Houston office: (713) 383 9234
