LADIES, LISTEN UP.

Help us defend your right to vote (see how at bottom of this page).

Congress is trying to pass legislation that can make it a lot harder for you to vote.

It's called the SAVE Act, and it will require Americans to provide proof of citizenship, in person, when they register to vote and every time they update their registration information.

For most Americans this would mean either presenting a passport or a government-issued photo ID with their birth certificate. But 69 million married women who have changed their last name would find it incredibly difficult to vote if the bill became law.

That's because the legislation requires that the name you use to register to vote, A.K.A your legal name, must match the one listed on your birth certificate, and if that's not the case, well, the SAVE Act basically says tough luck.

The legislation does not guarantee that you could show a marriage license or name change documentation with your birth certificate in order to prove your eligibility.

It basically leaves the fate of 69 million women up in the air.

The bottom line is, the SAVE Act treats women as an afterthought and does not consider our right to vote sacred. And whether it's by intent or sheer incompetence, legislation would disproportionately hurt women.

Oh, and get this. When advocating for the SAVE Act, supporters of the bill defended it by saying the process for married women would be a real "pain," but one that millions of women are used to.

To be clear, that's what supporters of the bill had to say about it.

I think most of us would agree it shouldn't be a real "pain" for millions of married women to vote every single election cycle. As women, we put up with a lot, but the save act should not be one of those things.

Congress should oppose a SAVE Act and uphold your Constitution right to vote.
