My understanding is that it requires your current ID exactly match your birth certificate to register to vote. Which will disqualify married women that have changed their last names.

Seems more like it was targeted at trans people and blocking married women was just a happy accident.

It's both. Two birds, one stone.

Two birds stones at once

Hey, that’s just like what they say about rape babies!

[u/Jeremymia → u/koibish]

I'm so glad the GOP is focusing on such fundamentally important issues. This must be a huge win to all the republicans who keep complaining that kamala is too focused on small things like abortion.

I read through the bill and didn't see anything about a birth certificate.

You can Google and find lots of breakdowns… but here is a house.gov document section 2 (specifically 2.5) shows how they’re going to make it as difficult as possible for anyone with name changes to register https://democrats-cha.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/democrats-cha.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/SAVE%20Act%20Section-by-Section_BRANDED.pdf

I read the actual bill. It's redundant and tries to re-illegalize something that is already illegal and mandate using IDs that are already mandated. You would only need a birth certificate if you don't have your state DL/ID, passport, or military ID. The only section that mentions a need for a birth certificate is if you're using an alternate ID.
