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.

Another way of skewing elections to the right.

Republicans have always hated that women predominately vote more left and in favor of families, communities and mutual benefits.

This is an easy way to cut them off - until women get away and change their names back to their maiden names en masse.

But if I am frank, you'll be lucky if there even are elections in the future of the rogue US. Trump will do his best to ensure a win, and if that's not possible, he'll cut elections.
