The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act could
🔥prevent many married women from being able to register to vote🔥
The act, reintroduced by Texas Republican Representative Chip Roy, is intended to amend the "National Voter Registration Act"
to ensure that all people registering to vote are U.S. citizens.
It would require people to present in-person documentation as proof of citizenship when registering to vote.
Much of the documentation listed under the SAVE Act is based on having
💥 a birth certificate that matches the person registering to vote. 💥
However,
👉 as many as 69 million married women in the United States have changed their legal name since getting married,
meaning their name does not match their birth certificate, according to the Center for American Progress.
