Unpopular opinion - The HR needs to start over with the SAVE Act - bc married women

Republicans need married women. The SAVE Act as written could frick married women in blue hellholes bc if it ever passed, blue hellholes would use this birth certificate stuff to prevent them from voting. They need to start over.

I speak with some knowledge on this topic which may be enlightening- When I got married I didn’t legally change my name bc it was too big of a hassle. I will legit do anything to avoid standing in a line at any government office, and this sounded fraught with that shite. When I got divorced - I didn’t have to start over again with that pain in the arse process - to go back to anything - which was the one thing that was not painful about the horrific experience of getting divorced that I would never wish on my worst enemy.

While married, I just put my married name on party invitations and Junior League Correspondence.

All my friends who did change their names had to to do something at the social security office, which was a total pain in the arse. At least in Louisiana if the name on your drivers license isn’t the same as your birth certificate- you had to submit paperwork to get the drivers license. Plus the SS office should have those documents as well.

I can Only imagine how fricked up this may be for a woman who has been married for 20 yrs, got her license with her married name on it issued in the banana republic of Louisiana and then moved to Texas or something and now needs to have her name matching the one on her birth certificate to get a “Real ID” if she doesn’t have a passport.

I frankly don’t believe that voter ID as “proof of citizenship” will solve anything bc most election laws are routinely NOT enforced and nothing happens when states don’t enforce their own laws (see: e.g. 2020 General Election). By and large this nonsense is perpetrated by fake ballots submitted by dead people, homeless people, nutrient home people, and various other fake people drafted by the dominant political party in the specific location and then submitted through the mail or shady ballot harvesting operations.

The real way to fix it is to REQUIRE in person voting in federal elections, and proof of citizenship required for absentee voting in federal election.

The voter rules can and should be cross referenced with SSNs /tax records by the federal government, and then have ppl show state issued identification at the polling place. There will have already been some degree of citizenship in advance.

My 2 cents. Do it that way - and the SAVE ACT would have a way better shot of making it into law.
