The SAVE Act passed the House on Feb. 11, 2026 by a vote of 218-213 and is now in the Senate awaiting a vote. Voting is expected to take place next week, according to Thune. If and when it passes the Senate, it will go to the president for a final signature.

Will SAVE Act Prevent Married Women from Registering to Vote?

By Hadleigh Zinsner

Posted on February 28, 2025

Q: Is it true that under the SAVE Act married women will not be able to register to vote if their married name doesn’t match their birth certificate?

A: The proposed SAVE Act instructs states to establish a process for people whose legal name doesn’t match their birth certificate to provide additional documents. But voting rights advocates say that married women and others who have changed their names may face difficulty when registering because of the ambiguity in the bill over what documents may be accepted.

    My response being many times more concise than yours does not make it shallow.

    Really stupid analogy to start with by leaning on a premise of everything being rigged.

      So the fact that you have nothing to say about the second scenario I laid out is not because you didn’t read it, but because you, what? Didn’t understand? Couldn’t come up with a useful reply?

      None of these options leave you in a good light.

        I can prove you an ass with one scenario.

        Lets both agree this conversation isn’t worth our time, then.

          If you’re going to finish up with something like this, it’s pre-ruined by being an obnoxious git in the first sentence. It is absolutely worth it to me to point out how ridiculous you’re being.

            You were an obnoxious git from the moment you got here, questioning the validity of a proven method amd coming up with stupid scenarios that were easily resolved.
