Veteran journalist Dan Rather has expressed concern over a proposed voting legislation known as the SAVE Act, which he says could negatively affect women’s ability to register to vote. In an opinion piece titled “The War on Women,” Rather argues that the bill, supported by former President Donald Trump, could function as a form of voter suppression. His main concern centers on a provision requiring voter registration details to match birth certificates, which he claims could disproportionately affect women who have changed their last names after marriage. Rather cites data indicating that a large majority of women in the United States adopt their spouse’s surname, with additional percentages using hyphenated or modified names. He argues that this discrepancy between legal identification documents and birth records could create bureaucratic barriers that prevent otherwise eligible voters from registering. According to his analysis, such rules could ultimately disenfranchise millions of women. Beyond voting legislation, Rather also criticizes broader policy directions he attributes to the Trump political movement. He claims these include efforts to reduce funding for reproductive health services, limit women’s economic opportunities, and roll back programs that expand women’s participation in military and professional sectors. He also suggests that cultural and policy shifts are aimed at reinforcing traditional gender roles. Rather frames these developments as part of a broader political strategy to maintain electoral power by suppressing demographics perceived as increasingly oppositional, particularly younger women. The article presents his viewpoint as a warning about the potential democratic consequences of the SAVE Act and related policy initiatives, especially regarding access to voting rights and gender equality in civic participation.

A federal judge has halted President Donald Trump’s executive order that sought to create a federal voter list and limit who can receive a mail ballot. U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani on Thursday sided with a coalition of nearly two dozen states that challenged the Republican president’s order. Her ruling applies to this year's midterm election cycle. Plaintiffs argued in two lawsuits filed in the same court that Trump’s order should be found unconstitutional because the states and Congress, not the president, have the power to set election rules. The White House stood by Trump’s executive order and indicated the administration would appeal the ruling.
At the direction of President Trump, the United States Postal Service (USPS) issued a proposed rule earlier this month that would erect barriers to mail voting. These proposed amendments would create unnecessary barriers to voting that could prevent eligible voters from receiving and returning their mail-in and absentee ballots and…

Instead, she agreed that the #Constitution gives #states & #Congress the authority to regulate #elections, & that Trump’s requirements violated the #SeparationOfPowers.
The Constitution “does not grant the President any specific powers over elections,” she wrote.

The ruling by US District Court Judge Denise Casper in Boston effectively converts a preliminary injunction she issued a year ago, in which she temporarily blocked many of Trump’s efforts to overhaul #elections, into a permanent ban.
Casper rejected the #Trump admin’s argument that the lawsuit to block the changes brought by Democratic state attorneys general was premature because the rules had yet to be implemented.

A federal judge on Wednesday permanently barred Trump’s admin from implementing most of his first executive order on #elections, part of which sought to require people to show documentary proof of citizenship when they register to vote.

A federal judge has permanently barred President Donald Trump’s administration from implementing most of his first executive order on elections. Trump's order included provisions that would have required people to show documentary proof of citizenship in order to register to vote. It also would have prevented mail ballots from counting if they're received after Election Day. The ruling Wednesday effectively makes permanent a preliminary order that the Boston-based judge issued a year ago. The judge agreed with arguments from Democratic attorneys general that the Constitution gives states and Congress, not the president, the power to regulate elections. The White House said it was confident it would ultimately prevail in the case.
