    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.

      most of them vote according to thier husbands wishes. even my parents do this, always relegate voting to the man of the house, they arnt R voters though.

        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.

    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)

      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.

      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.

    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.
