The SAVE Act sparks debate over married women’s voting rights if they keep maiden names, with Democrats warning of barriers and Republicans calling claims misleading.
Rep. Hillary Scholten, D-Mich., says the SAVE Act could block married women from voting if they keep their maiden names, as it requires voter registration names to match government IDs, including unchanged birth certificates.
Republicans argue the bill only demands consistent documentation, like marriage certificates, and applies equally to all voters.
Critics say Democrats’ claims are misleading, noting women already prove name changes for passports and licenses, and point to past Democratic campaigns that assumed married women lacked voting autonomy—highlighting a perceived inconsistency in their stance.
