Hi!
I am just writing to state that I oppose the SAVE act - having just gotten married last year and having heard about the coming of the SAVE act. I opted not to change my last name because I was afraid to do so. I know that currently, there are options for people with the mental, emotional, and financial resources to get a Passport/REAL ID to continue to vote, but I know - regardless of if it is your intention or not - that this will act to suppress votes.
It's the same with making it harder to do mail in voting. We have an aging population in the US and I know my parents are not always willing to get out to go vote - they have been strictly voting by mail for years now.
If you want to be a fair, just, person / nation - you have to consider the real world consequences of your actions.
You have been warned over and over again about the voter suppression that is about to happen and it is NOT FAIR.
Please, I plead with you to consider the real world implications. Don't suppress the vote. You are in your position to represent the voices of those in your area.
I am one of those voices. My parents voices matter too.... and the 70 million-ish american women who may or may not have the right ID when it comes time to vote are important, valuable voices.
Hear us all. Listen to us.
