Some lawmakers who oppose the SAVE Act argue that the bill could make it harder for married women to vote. “This voter suppression bill will disenfranchise millions of voters, especially married women,” Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota said on social media.
Meanwhile, supporters of the SAVE Act assert that the legislation orders states to determine what additional documents should be required when local voters have a discrepancy on their proof of citizenship document.
“The Democrats have been fearmongering about this bill, have been saying if married women change their name, they would not be able to vote. That is complete fallacy,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a press conference on Friday.
