Showing Original Post only (View all)So I heard a good response to why the Republicans will want the Save Act to fail. [View all]

According to the Save Act, your birth certificate and current name must match, which means that women will be at a disadvantage. Our side is worried about this because it will directly affect women who married and changed their names. The only sure way around this is if you have a passport ID.
But some astute person on the net says that this is unfavorable to the Republicans, because more Democrats than Republicans carry a passport. The blue States, in other words, will be impacted less than the Red States, which will, in essence, disenfranchise their own trad wives.
Interesting to think about, anyway.
