Republicans passed a bill requiring married women to have a passport to vote.
I don’t want to defend the horseshit Republicans are shoveling around but this isn’t true. You can access the text of H.R. 2022, the so called Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, at this link.
If you read 2(b)(1), don’t worry it’s on the very first page of the link, it clearly states:
“(1) A form of identification issued consistent with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States.
As of September 2020 all US States and territories are issuing REAL ID compliant Drivers Licenses and State ID cards.
So anyone whose undergone a name change, regardless of gender, who has a State Issued ID meets the requirement. No passport necessary.
Republicans are up to enough awful shit without needing to lie about it. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act does not disenfranchise 80 million married woman.
I’m sorry that happened to you.
We’ve had REAL ID here in Wyoming for at least a decade and even for my wife it was pretty straightforward; she just had to show Birth Certificate and Marriage License to prove the name change and she was done. That was at least two drivers licenses ago (ours expire every 5 years) and she’s had no trouble with renewal.
I’m going to guess you ran into trouble because you are trans in Oklahoma and they didn’t like the gender change?
