Axios prompted quite a debate when it pushed a Democrat talking point against the SAVE Act.
Despite the fact that an overwhelming majority of Republicans and Democrats support utilizing a form of voter identification to ensure the security of elections in the United States, there is still a contingent dedicated to pushing the idea that the SAVE Act is voter suppression. Axios in particular published an article that explores the idea that the legislation “could potentially prevent millions of people from casting their ballots.”
From the article:
The bill would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Options to prove citizenship include:
- A REAL ID-compliant ID showing citizenship
- A passport
- A military ID with proof of U.S. birth
- A government-issued photo ID showing U.S. birth, or other government-issued photo ID with a birth certificate, other proof of U.S. birth, or naturalization documents.
This is a problem because, as Axios reports, “The Brennan Center estimates that more than 21 million Americans lack ready access to those documents, that roughly half of Americans don’t have a passport, and millions lack access to a paper copy of their birth certificate.”
“Likewise, millions of women whose married names aren’t on their birth certificates or passports would face extra steps just to make their voices heard,” the researchers noted.
While this is a nightmare for leftists who think nobody keeps copies of their important documents, X users had a different reaction:
If their married names aren’t on their passports then they have fraudulent documents.
Those are things that are supposed to be legally updated when they get married.
Any delay is from their own actions and not the fault or concern of election integrity policy.@POTUS @GOP

I thought this article was going to tell me about the unique “barriers” that will be faced by women trying to get a Real ID.
Strangely enough, they’re the same barriers we all face in getting a Real ID. Weird. It’s almost as if the headline and the article are unrelated.
