Summary
The SAVE Act, reintroduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote, relying on documents like birth certificates and passports.
Critics argue it could disenfranchise millions, particularly married women whose names no longer match their birth certificates. The bill does not recognize marriage certificates as valid proof of identity.
Supporters say it protects election integrity, while opponents highlight the minimal occurrence of noncitizen voting.
With Republican control of Congress and the White House, the bill is likely to pass.
North Carolina. There was a requirement to post notices in 3 major newspapers running for 4 weeks. And something about appearing before a judge who could reject the change for any reason they wanted, including reasons like “I don’t like what color shirt you are wearing today”. There were a lot of other requirements too, like background checks, fingerprints, character witnesses, etc.
You should have gotten married in Michigan. My spouse and I could both change are names to whatever we wanted to.
