Yup. The process for me after I got married was so easy I’m sure even a liberal woman could do it.First, drop the racial framing. Voting laws apply to citizens, not to “white men such as yourself.” The requirements under the SAVE Act proposal don’t change based on race or sex, and assuming they do is precisely the kind of identity-based thinking you claim to oppose.
Second, the claim that minorities and married women would be forced to “carry around the documentation of their life” every time they vote is inaccurate. The documentation would be required at the point of registration (or when updating registration), not every time someone casts a ballot. Once verified, the registration stands unless there’s a change requiring an update, which is already how most voter rolls function.
Third, name changes due to marriage or divorce are not a new administrative challenge created by voter ID proposals. That documentation is already required for passports, Social Security updates, driver’s licenses, bank accounts, mortgages, and countless other legal processes. The argument seems to assume that voting should be the only civic function completely insulated from standard identity verification.
Fourth, if there are specific implementation concerns, cost of documents, access to issuing offices, bureaucratic delays, those are legitimate policy discussions. They can be addressed through fee waivers, streamlined verification systems, or automatic data matching. But labeling the entire concept “racism and misogyny” without engaging the mechanics of the law is misinformed rhetoric, not analysis.
Finally, when an argument leans heavily on insults (“Mushbrain,” “Orange Hitler,” etc.), it usually signals your emotional certainty replacing factual precision. If the case against the SAVE Act is strong, it doesn’t need caricatures to survive. If the concern is access, let’s talk access. If the concern is equal protection, let’s talk equal protection. But shouting groundless motives into existence isn’t the same as proving them.
