It won’t stop married women from voting but it just creates a huge pain in the ass plus basically a poll tax. Since you’ll have to pay for copies of your birth certificate, plus getting your marriage license, and of course an ID.

Unconstitutional, but this admin wipes it’s ass with that document anyways.

It may stop them from voting depending on the requirements surrounding the birth certificate. The format of certain features or seals are not consistent across the US. Local laws in one place may require something which is not done in the place a person was born. My mother deals with that frequently and I had some issues with that previously.

Yeah, I couldn’t even get photo ID because the state I was born in used a “certificate of birth” and the state I was living in required a “birth certificate”.

It took months to resolve the issue and I only got it fixed by doing a surprise 3 way phone call between offices in both states and had to listen to them argue about it for nearly 20mins. Even then I think I only got my ID because the person in my state was fed up and just wanted to go home for the day.

I would be similarly screwed if I lived where you did because I’m pretty sure mine is a “certificate of live birth”

I could see this as a huge problem as well. Plus, you usually have to go in person to pick up those birth certificates. So you live in Florida but born in California. Now you’re making a 2k mile trip to vote. I’m sure there are Mail alternatives, but that’s just another barrier to add in.
