SAVE Act would require birth cert or passport that matches voters legal name. 69M women may have a legal name that doesn’t match their birth cert. An estimated 21M would be turned away at polls. This act is an attempt to disenfranchise women voters.

This Bill in the Senate Could Disenfranchise Millions of Women Voters

Trump has renewed pressure for the Senate to pass the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship to vote. For the 69 million women who have changed their last name this would create a barrier to voting.

It's useful to know who has funded a war on women for over 60 years.

The fossil fuel industry.

Koch Network, Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society.

All avatars of the same billionaire bigots.

The only silver lining is that JD Vance does not have a current legal name that matches the name on his birth certificate.
