I agree in so far as it would not solve “the problem”, but that’s only because “the problem” doesn’t exist.Passing the SAVE act would be great imo. More libs have their passport and documentation that would be required to vote than a majority of conservatives. But dont let any poor white nationalist know that.
I disagree because it blatantly feels like a poll tax. Especially for married women, most of whom have changed their name. I don’t have a passport, I can’t travel outside the country because I’m disabled - so I don’t need one, and the fee is much steeper than a driver’s license - which I do need. I also don’t have a birth certificate with my married name on it. I do have my marriage license, but I understand that is not sufficient to prove anything.
If the save act were to pass, and I were to attempt to re-register to vote I cannot prove I’m a citizen to the extent the law would require. Allegedly, I haven’t read the bill myself, so I could be mistaken. I just know a lot of feminist groups have been raising awareness about the claim I just made.
Personally, I believe the scenario above is the actual goal. The Republicans (and the bots on the Internet trying to convince men that it’s a bad idea; story as old as time) don’t want women to vote. Because women tend more toward the Democratic Party. They know getting the 19th amendment repealed is so unlikely as to virtually be impossible, but if they can make the hurdles a married woman has to jump through hard enough to be impractical for a large number of women? Same accomplishment, under the guise of “protecting the American election”.
