If the SAVE Act excludes marriage certificates and REAL IDs, it’s not about securing our elections—it’s about suppressing women voters. • 69 million American women have legally changed their names after marriage. • A marriage certificate is a legally recognized document—used by the DMV, Social Security, and passport offices. • If it’s not good enough for voter registration, the system is rigged by design. • REAL IDs and marriage licenses must be accepted—not just passports or birth certificates. • House Republicans rejected Rep. Norma Torres’ amendment to include marriage certificates as valid ID. • This move echoes the goals of Project 2025: erecting voting barriers that target specific populations. • The message is loud and clear: if you change your name, you risk losing your vote. Fix this—unless the plan really is to make it harder for women to vote.
