SAVE Act would require birth cert or passport that matches voters legal name. 69M women may have a legal name that doesn’t match their birth cert. An estimated 21M would be turned away at polls. This act is an attempt to disenfranchise women voters.
https://www.thepersistent.com/this-bill-in-the-senate-could-disenfranchise-millions-of-women-voters/@amydiehl@mstdn.social That could backfire on them. I saw it asserted a day or two ago that without white women voting disproportionately conservative, no conservative would have won election in the last century.
I don't know how true the assertion is.

People who spent their lives polluting the planet now spend billions on polluting knowledge & information to thwart free & fair elections using AI.

BTW, did it not occur to them that women could change BACK to their maiden names?

https://www.thepersistent.com/this-bill-in-the-senate-could-disenfranchise-millions-of-women-voters/@amydiehl Catholic women keep their name, so it will liberate Protestant woman from the misogyny of male marriage contracts? All the Catholics have to do is recognise that sexism; gender inequality has no place in the 21c; love not war for chauvinism, racism, sexism and ableism is a greater commandment than injustice; inequality of the law favouring paedophilia and rape? #TheVote #DemocraticRights #DiverseInterests #Freedom

https://www.thepersistent.com/this-bill-in-the-senate-could-disenfranchise-millions-of-women-voters/Another way of skewing elections to the right.
Republicans have always hated that women predominately vote more left and in favor of families, communities and mutual benefits.
This is an easy way to cut them off - until women get away and change their names back to their maiden names en masse.
But if I am frank, you'll be lucky if there even are elections in the future of the rogue US. Trump will do his best to ensure a win, and if that's not possible, he'll cut elections.
