    IANAL but in my reading of the text of the bill the only way for a married woman that took her partner’s last name (that wasn’t in the military with her married name) to be able to vote if this becomes law is for them to spend at least $30 to get a USA Passport card. This would tick all the boxes the bill requires for these women:

    • Government ID
    • Shows citizenship status (by nature of it being a Passport)
    • Shows place of birth
    • Shows the married last name

    …or as I’m calling it:

    This is violation of the 24th Amendment banning poll Taxes.

    In this case, its a required fee married women must pay to be able to use their Constitutional guaranteed right to vote granted by the 19th Amendment. How is this not a poll tax by another name on married women?

    Pretending to be a democrat seems to be more and more common. We need a way to vet them.

          I’m from Iowa, I know how the fucking primaries work.

          What they do is rig the election to give the victory to a fucking nobody like Buttigieg.

            rig the election

            I estimate you are 70% of the way along the Leftist to MAGA pipeline. Next step is a vague conspiracy theory about “those people” who did the rigging and every other thing. Then you just need a forceful personality to convince you who “they” are (Democrats, immigrants, etc).
