Summary
The SAVE Act, reintroduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote, relying on documents like birth certificates and passports.
Critics argue it could disenfranchise millions, particularly married women whose names no longer match their birth certificates. The bill does not recognize marriage certificates as valid proof of identity.
Supporters say it protects election integrity, while opponents highlight the minimal occurrence of noncitizen voting.
With Republican control of Congress and the White House, the bill is likely to pass.

I’m totally fine with my family having a random composition of names. It would be awesome to come up with a new last name for the kids for example. If we need me, just let me know…
So if this passes then the next bill will be to force all women that marry to change their last name to reflect their husbands last name. This, of course will be part of a larger bill to outlaw gay marriage.
And then when women decide to protest this by not getting married there will be an economic bill that will be passed that states unmarried women will be taxed at a higher rate - and they will use the excuse that we need to shore up the “traditional family” to fight against all this “God-less liberal brainwashing”.
This is the dream
My wife didn’t change her last name when we married. All the inconveniences of that have been so minor for us, not an issue.
“It doesn’t affect me so it’s not an issue :D”
Hey guess what, it affects millions of people, including people you know. Fuck outta here with that “got mine” bullshit
This would also disenfranchise basically every trans person in the country, which isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. Last I heard, trans people were having trouble getting any passport under the new administration.
While you’re being blatant about the hate, how about we give married men 3/5ths an extra vote at the same time?
It’s actually worse than the 3/5 as I understand, since that was about slaveholder states getting 3/5 of their slave population count towards the census.
Disenfranchised women will count towards the census completely.
republiQan women are okie-dokie with this.
It’s what tiny baby Jesus would want.
If my voting rights were stripped by this law, I would know what to do, and who to do it to. I wouldn’t become a secondary citizen (at best), or nothing but a (wage/birthing) slave.
I sure hope Obama does a good job explaining the “unintended” consequences of this so the Republicans who vote for it won’t blame him for letting them pass it.
