Republican women: he warned you! You won't "have to vote" once he is president! And you still fell for him....
Hey, America! Tired of voting? The GOP's SAVE Act is for you.
In an eye-opening new CAP report, @gbedekovics.bsky.social & @sydkneeb.bsky.social show how the bill would disenfranchise millions of Americans. Hit hardest would be 69 million (largely Republican!) women who took their spouses' names.

The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens
The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.
