... The rumors are true: The proposed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act, now considered a priority for Republicans in the House, will make it harder, if not practically impossible, for millions of women to vote. The SAVE Act would require documentation, such as a passport or birth certificate matching your current legal name to allow a person to register to vote. These requirements would pose a challenge to broad swaths of the country, but would fall especially hard on women. ...

Analysis: I speculate that means they realized the race card wasn't doing the trick.
Phew what a load of BS.
And how do these millions of American women prove who they are, now? Apparently women are the new minority and the left is telling them they are just too stupid to be able to get the required ID.
1. MOST AMERICANS DO NOT HAVE A PASSPORT
2. WOMEN GET MARRIED-—DIVORCED—REMARRIED, etc. BIRTH CERT IS ONLY IN MAIDEN NAME.
THIS MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL.
This is really scared tactics. I marriage license documents a name change. Other court documents provide proof of name change for other reasons. I used my marriage license to revise my driver’s license and passport.
Very patronizing article. If I were a woman, I’d be insulted by this demeaning drivel.
The article gives examples. I expect documents for a name change are fine. With Real ID, a driver’s license should suffice.
The problem is a lot of women constantly change their hair color and change up their cosmetics, so it’s impossible to know who they really are.
As a woman, I am insulted.
When you go through a name-change process you get a social security card with your social security number and your current legal name. It can’t be that hard for the database to be searched and verify these things. Requiring documents is only necessary because they won’t let voter registrations be checked against citizenship records. OK, if they want to make it hard we can make it hard. OR they can just let voter registrations be checked against citizenship records. We can do this the hard way or the easy way, but if the bureaucrats, judges, and leftists (but I repeat myself) choose the hard way they best not complain that it’s hard.
Amazingly I’ve never been invited to supposed “Christian nationalist” meetings. LOL
Manufactured crisis.
I should add that they won’t let voter registrations be checked against citizenship records FOR FEDERAL ELECTIONS. In Arizona, for instance, state elections require verification against citizenship records. But judges wouldn’t allow the same requirement to vote in federal elections because the Motor Voter Law (Help America Vote Act) didn’t include that provision. As a result, a LOT more people were allowed to vote in the federal election than in the state election because all those who wouldn’t let the system check their citizenship were allowed to vote.
This is the end of civilization as we know it./sarc
The problem for Chicken Little was that he or she was ahead of the times. He or she would have had a far more receptive audience today.

“ As a result, a LOT more people were allowed to vote in the federal election than in the state election because all those who wouldn’t let the system check their citizenship were allowed to vote.”
Find that list of people, and deport every single illegal.
I would gladly give up my right to vote if it meant no woman could ever vote again. My husband always uses my sample ballot to vote from anyway (he’s too busy working to spend the time on sample ballots). Repeal the 19th!!
A marriage certificate and if divorced a divorce certificate.
What an ignorant ninny. A woman who changed her name upon marriage already has to prove the name change when applying for certain documents even if she was married decades ago. Usually a certified copy of the marriage certificate suffices. How long it takes to get a copy depends on the clerk where the certificate is filed.
It really will not be a bar to women voting if such is needed to get a ID suitable to use at the polls.
Oh and a woman does not have to legally change her surname when she marries. I didn’t.
