I’ve read it. Americans find a way to make everything as divisive and as convoluted as possible to the point it’s not even possible to discuss. Other countries have long solved these problems. I can’t even find a coherent description of the US voting process but it’s clearly not just women who are affected.
Most women in the US change take their husband’s last name after marriage. Next to no men do this. Your birth certificate has the name you had at birth on it, not your married name. Your ID has your current legal name, married name in the case of most married women. These will not match for the vast majority of married women, causing them to not be able to vote, and will pose no problem to the majority of men. Does that make sense?
They do, this will require ID as well as proof of citizenship, two documents. The birth certificate is the one everyone has, since they are given at birth. So men, unmarried women, and married women who did not change their name, can go vote without obtaining any additional documentation, while most married women will now have to go through the process and pay large fees for additional documentation.
Non-citizens can attain a drivers license, so republicans believe there is the chance non-citizens might sneak there vote past unsuspecting poll workers.
I know, unlike our Canadian system. You are not automatically registered to vote in most of the states. Plus republicans believe liberal states are purposely registering immigrants who shouldn’t be voting and letting them use the state IDs.
Everyone who changed their name, not just women
Are we seriously complaining that requiring ID with your current name on it is unreasonable?

If you read my comment you’ll see that’s been tried and no applicable information was found

What doesn’t make sense is when this is requested, why doesn’t everyone else have to provide ID?

Did nobody have to prove they were a citizen to vote previously?
A birth certificate? Yes. What’s wrong with a driver’s license?

You don’t pre-register in the US? In Canada it’s automatic when you do your taxes if you tick the box
