The SAVE Act poses a significant threat to voting rights, particularly for married American women. By requiring a birth certificate matching one's current legal name to register to vote, the Act risks disenfranchising up to 69 million women who took their husband's surname upon marriage. This echoes the harmful effects of the 1907 Expatriation Act, which stripped women of their citizenship upon marrying non-citizens, temporarily denying them the right to vote. While promoted as safeguarding elections from non-citizen voting, the SAVE Act's documentation requirements seem poised to unduly burden millions of legally eligible voters. This unwarranted barrier to the ballot box for a large segment of the female population risks undermining a core democratic principle - universal suffrage for all citizens. Policymakers should reject measures that imperil constitutionally protected voting rights in the name of addressing statistically negligible issues. Ensuring broad access to the franchise must remain a paramount priority.
