A GOP proposal would mean Arizona's 1.5 million married women could lose voting access

The SAVE Act isn’t about Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility — it’s about making it harder for millions of American citizens to vote by imposing unnecessary and burdensome documentation requirements.

If passed, the SAVE Act will require all Arizonans — more than 5 million voting-age citizens — to provide documentary proof of citizenship in person when registering to vote, updating their voter registration, and even casting their ballot. This requirement means they must present as documentary proof of citizenship 1) a passport or 2) a birth certificate accompanied by a government issued photo ID, and the name on the ID must match your birth certificate exactly.

Online and mail-in voter registration — lifelines for rural voters — would be eliminated, forcing people to travel in person during business hours to an election office just to register or update their information. For rural Arizonans and members of tribal nations, this could mean an eight-hour round trip, sometimes even requiring crossing state lines.

Married women: Over 1.5 million married women in Arizona have changed their last names after marriage, meaning their birth certificates no longer match their current legal names. Studies show that 80% of married women take their spouse’s last name, leaving them without a birth certificate that reflects their legal identity. Marriage licenses won’t count as proof. If you don’t have a passport, you’ll be forced into a costly, time-consuming process to obtain new documentation. Nationwide, 69 million women face this barrier.

Could it be, because they hate competing for affection from the men that could be in their lives.
Mother's for their father's affection.
Wives for their sons affection.
Other women for their husband's and boyfriend's affection.
How many Republican men struggle to be free to be who they are only to be confronted by their conservative upbringing. It wouldn't be uncommon for their religious stay at home mother to spend the most time with jr. teaching them to live a good clean life, free from all desire through self discipline. (Self hate). Pray those devilish thoughts right out.
IMHO, that's where many learn to hate women. Otherwise, why would a criminal profiler name a conservative, white male between 20-40 years of age to be the first, most common characteristic of a serial sexual predator? Look it up.
I hope you're paying attention, Jesse Waters, expert of all things that make a "real man." Dude, you are sooo hurting for daddy love.
Then that same guy finds and weds a good woman, like "mother" and starts the cycle all over again. Hopefully, she's an understanding woman that looks the other way when he gets home late or leaves for days at a time. I mean boys will be boys, right you Republican Arizonans.
, not.
Get some damn help and stop trying to hurt women. You cowards.
