Thune is unwilling to remove the Filibuster to push it through, fortunately, and they don’t have the votes besides. Trump may not be around long but most of the Senate will be and they know that there’s no jamming the genie back in the bottle if the follow through – eventually the Democrats *will* get control again in some form and the Republicans will be lame ducks with no ability to stonewall.
Even removing it then putting it back utterly destroys the Filibuster’s power and it ceases to be something neither party wants to touch. If the Republicans do it now and try to put it back afterwards, the Dems will just do it themselves next time without fear.
I’m sure that Thune also knows the last time the GOP tried to push this sort of thing through on a state level it ratfucked Republican voters so badly they rolled it back.

Not that I condone the save act…but exit polls show married women voted for Trump 52% to Harris 47% if you’d believe it
Plus it incentivizes women to not take the last name of their husband when getting married (kind of a silly misogynistic tradition if you think about it) the married part hurts republicans more so im confused why they are pushing it so hard

funny how all these electoral “reform” bills make it harder for groups that don’t support the Republicans to vote

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Which party is more likely to have preferred to be single and/or married women who go by their original surname and which party is more likely to have women who take on their husband’s name “like the way God intended?” aka the Tradwife way?

Fuck the Republican Party leaders for backing this insanity. Anyone with half a brain can see this shit isn’t ok, but they all just love bending over for Trump

Pretty sure that stopping women from voting was another thing in Project2025. You know the one trump never heard of but is following almost exactly.

She’s no doubt stoked about that. She’s a fucking weirdo who loves wrinkly ball sacks.

But in maga world the husbands vote counts for both, she just needs to keep an eye on the chicken and tend to the children.
Any women still supporting trump and the cons deserves to be treated like second class it’s what they want right.

Forcing tens of millions of Americans to go to the DMV to present proof of name change and citizenship to register to vote? For an election that begins early voting in basically 6 months?
What could go wrong?

I was indifferent whether or not my wife took my name when we got married. Now I’m absolutely gleeful she didn’t.

Wow. I’m surprised she didn’t say claim the SAVE act rewards women voters with a $2000 check.

This is not meant to be a functional law. It’s meant to throw the election into chaos with no one knowing what the fuck is going on.

For women: never legally change your name. They will weaponize it against you
You have no legal obligation to change your name when getting married
RockingInTheCLE on
So, for women who have changed their names from their birth names, if they are currently registered to vote do they need to do anything? Or is it only if they move and have to re-register in a new location? Just curious about how crazy this really is.
(just in case it needs to be said, fuck this administration)

Trump is aware that he’s already underwater with woman voters so the only way to get around that is to make it so they can’t vote .

I encourage everyone here to get their passports or get them renewed if needed. Although I don’t think this law will pass, if it does, the sudden rush might make it very hard to get this done before election time.

If you are a woman who wants to vote. Just start getting your documents done now. Your voting name has to match your driver’s license. That’s it. Get all your voter registration to be in line with your official name.

So my democratic female friends on whole have a passport. My republican female friends (actually just mainly family) on a whole do not have a passport. So there is that.

So conservatives are saying it would be better if women avoid marriage or at least keep their maiden name. Interesting.
