    Any woman that supports this is a disgrace to the women that suffered and fought before them to gain that right. If you want to vote the same as your husband or just not vote you don’t need a law enforcing that.

    And who else?

    (To be clear married women should be able to vote, just like everybody else)

      And who else?

      Everyone, actually:

      Under current laws, many Americans need to present some form of identification to register to vote. The act would require Americans show additional documents that prove their citizenship, such as a passport or a birth certificate.

      You just moved? This little errand, updating your voting registration, just got a little more complicated, a little more likely to be a problem. Or, a lot more likely to be a problem, if you lost your birth certificate in the move somehow. Or maybe even quite a big problem, if you don’t have the kind of settled life where you’ve got a file cabinet for these documents the government expects you to curate on their behalf.

      Trans people would basically be the only other group. It’s targeting people whose legal name is different from the one on their birth certificate.

      Seems like this would affect anyone who doesn’t have a copy of their birth certificate, an enhanced ID or a passport. That seems like a huge number of people.

        passports are probably more difficult to get for conservatives, and passports are already a time consuming process as it is. they might not of the USPS offices in commutable areas. and they are usually booked weeks out in advance.

          I think that’s only if you are registering to vote in a different precinct, if you aren’t already on the voter rolls in that area. Basically whenever you move. I’m not sure how other countries handle it when you move.

            But they ‘purge’ voter rolls all the time. Especially red states in areas they think will vote dem. Then you have to register and then they can now disqualify most married women.

    This is by design.

    Funny thing is, I have to imagine that it’ll prove far more problematic for Republicans than Democrats, seeing as how poverty is far more widespread in red states than blue, and the impoverished aren’t keeping their ID’s update. No fucking way.

    This has been said before, but I am skeptical that this is a realistic risk.

    Married women vote R over D by about 15-20 points according to most polls, and I kinda trust Republicans to not shoot themselves in the dick.

        All married women, regardless of race.

        Edit: I’m sure it’s different if broken down by race, but I don’t know how because I haven’t seen the numbers. However I wouldn’t be surprised to see marriage and conservatism generally track on a societal level regardless of other factors.

        Most women married to Rs are themselves going to be Rs. It’s just as accurate to say that most husbands are voting according to the wife’s wishes.
