Easy solution, just don’t marry anyone with a different last name.

I get the joke, but is it really so rare in the US for a woman to keep her own surname after marriage?

It’s actually pretty common for one person to take on the other’s last name.

My partner started out keeping hers, then took my last name after getting hassled over her name not matching our son’s in various situations.

This would make voting difficult for her.

That was the point elsewhere here that it would hurt republicans more.

  • republicans tend to be conservative, older, so are more likely for the woman to have changed her name
  • democrats tend to be more liberal or more progressive or more educated, all of which are more likely for the woman to keep her name when getting married.
