      It’s a voter suppression bill. And it was written to allow the Republican Party to win the midterms even with their extreme unpopularity.

      Thune is unwilling to remove the Filibuster to push it through, fortunately, and they don’t have the votes besides. Trump may not be around long but most of the Senate will be and they know that there’s no jamming the genie back in the bottle if the follow through – eventually the Democrats *will* get control again in some form and the Republicans will be lame ducks with no ability to stonewall.

      Even removing it then putting it back utterly destroys the Filibuster’s power and it ceases to be something neither party wants to touch. If the Republicans do it now and try to put it back afterwards, the Dems will just do it themselves next time without fear.

      I’m sure that Thune also knows the last time the GOP tried to push this sort of thing through on a state level it ratfucked Republican voters so badly they rolled it back.

      Not that I condone the save act…but exit polls show married women voted for Trump 52% to Harris 47% if you’d believe it

      Plus it incentivizes women to not take the last name of their husband when getting married (kind of a silly misogynistic tradition if you think about it) the married part hurts republicans more so im confused why they are pushing it so hard

      funny how all these electoral „reform“ bills make it harder for groups that don’t support the Republicans to vote

    8. inksmudgedhands on

      Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Which party is more likely to have preferred to be single and/or married women who go by their original surname and which party is more likely to have women who take on their husband’s name „like the way God intended?“ aka the Tradwife way?

      Fuck the Republican Party leaders for backing this insanity. Anyone with half a brain can see this shit isn’t ok, but they all just love bending over for Trump

    11. GWFfarley2k on

      Pretty sure that stopping women from voting was another thing in Project2025. You know the one trump never heard of but is following almost exactly.

      She’s no doubt stoked about that. She’s a fucking weirdo who loves wrinkly ball sacks.

    13. ImpressiveMethod8624 on

      But in maga world the husbands vote counts for both, she just needs to keep an eye on the chicken and tend to the children.

      Any women still supporting trump and the cons deserves to be treated like second class it’s what they want right.

      another day another republican trying to suppress the vote because they know they cant win fair and square

    15. PolicyWonka on

      Forcing tens of millions of Americans to go to the DMV to present proof of name change and citizenship to register to vote? For an election that begins early voting in basically 6 months?

      What could go wrong?

    16. J3musu on

      I was indifferent whether or not my wife took my name when we got married. Now I’m absolutely gleeful she didn’t.

    17. LawrenceSpiveyR on

      Wow. I’m surprised she didn’t say claim the SAVE act rewards women voters with a $2000 check.

    18. LuckyandBrownie on

      This is not meant to be a functional law. It’s meant to throw the election into chaos with no one knowing what the fuck is going on.

    19. whichwitch9 on

      For women: never legally change your name. They will weaponize it against you

      You have no legal obligation to change your name when getting married

    20. RockingInTheCLE on

      So, for women who have changed their names from their birth names, if they are currently registered to vote do they need to do anything? Or is it only if they move and have to re-register in a new location? Just curious about how crazy this really is.

      (just in case it needs to be said, fuck this administration)

    22. Tessa7 on

      I’m checking on all the married women and one married man in my life that changed their last names to make sure they all have valid passports for midterms.

    23. mrchris69 on

      Trump is aware that he’s already underwater with woman voters so the only way to get around that is to make it so they can’t vote .

    25. sonofagunn on

      I encourage everyone here to get their passports or get them renewed if needed. Although I don’t think this law will pass, if it does, the sudden rush might make it very hard to get this done before election time.

    27. IceBearKnows89 on

      It would literally invalidate entire State’s voting systems (like mine in Oregon). Primaries are starting soon.

      If it were to somehow pass, either Oregon would need to make up an entirely new system for voting immediately or what? They just don’t seat any of our national reps until we comply?

      This is insanity.

    30. Snakend on

      If you are a woman who wants to vote. Just start getting your documents done now. Your voting name has to match your driver’s license. That’s it. Get all your voter registration to be in line with your official name.

    31. 123-Moondance on

      So my democratic female friends on whole have a passport. My republican female friends (actually just mainly family) on a whole do not have a passport. So there is that.

    34. SecondHandPeacePrize on

      So conservatives are saying it would be better if women avoid marriage or at least keep their maiden name. Interesting.

    35. PicturePsychological on

      May backfire on them because republican women are more likely to marry than democrat women, and republican women are more likely to change their name when they do marry than democrat women.
      So they are screwing themselves because it will affect republicans more than democrats in general. Its also harder for rural republicans to re-register than in city where more democrats live.

    37. teslastats on

      You know which women won’t have any issues? Muslim women since they keep their maiden name.

    38. Wazza02 on

      Only a small percentage! It is a couple of million woman who would be disfranchised by this.

    39. sharp11flat13 on

      Suppressing voting in a democratic country. Just one more way the US is exceptional.

    40. Apprehensive-Song200 on

      Republicans don’t want kids to read The Handmaid’s Tale in school – they want kids to experience the live action immersive experience.

    41. GirdedByApathy on

      By „make it harder to vote“ what she actually means is „disenfeanchise millions of Americans“.

      If it passes Im going to start a charity whose only purpose will be to help people disenfranchised by this *stupid fucking bill* to get to where they need to be in order to register to vote and then PAY THE DAMN PROCESSING FEES so they can actually get it done.

      I’m female. I’m married. I’m also adopted as a teen. I have two birth certificates. When I’m fingerprinted to work at schools, it might take them 15-20 minutes to review, understand, and approve my paperwork.

      This bullshit will create the longest lines on voting day. People who work the polls are not experts in all documents spanning 10+ decades issued in all states. Is the birth certificate required to be notarized? If the paper is too worn, will it be permitted? How will they treat copies of birth certificates or marriage certificates?

      They withheld my husband’s vote last year because they questioned his signature. When we looked at the signatures being compared, it was laughable. He completed the extra step to get his vote counted, but I have to wonder if they were randomly selecting all voters or just targeting democratic ones.

    43. reject_fascism on

      Tell me how much you hate women without taking their right to vote away.

    45. kelpyb1 on

      “Yes, this bill will do exactly what we intended it to do, which is exactly what our voter base wants: fewer women voting”

    47. oddmanout on

      I currently don’t know where my birth certificate is. I know I had it at some point in time but in the 25 or so years I’ve been on my own, moved a dozen times, who the fuck knows where it is. It’s probably with my marriage certificate, which I also don’t know where it is.

      Luckily I’m not in the target demographic for voter suppression so I won’t need either one of those to vote. My wife, on the other hand, has a different last name, so she’ll need those things to vote. Guess we’re digging through boxes in the garage between now and November.

      Wake up, people. Just because you’re cool with the papacy, doesn’t mean the papacy’s cool with you. After Iran (if there is an after), North America is next.
