Sen. Hirono says SAVE Act is not about voter ID, that married women are the act’s ‘perfect targets’

Senator Mazie Hirono said the SAVE Act is not about strengthening voter ID, calling that “a total bullshit description of the SAVE Act” in a short video she posted. “This is not about voter ID. Oh stop that. That’s like a total bullshit description of the SAVE Act.”She suggested married women might have a difficult time registering to vote as a result of the bill, since the name on their birth certificate normally wouldn’t match their married name. 
She also posted on X Monday, that “The SAVE Act is NOT about strengthening voter ID. It’s a way for this regime to steal upcoming elections. Republicans want to silence MILLIONS of eligible voters by making it harder to register to vote. And married women, you’re one of the SAVE Act’s perfect targets.”
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, wrote a column last year for The Federalist, saying that most people who have changed their name have updated passports or other documentation.
He wrote, “For the small fraction of individuals who have not updated their documentation to reflect a name change — though most do so quickly for general life purposes such as an I-9 form for employment, passport to travel, and Social Security card for taxes — the SAVE Act explicitly directs states to establish a process allowing them to register to vote despite a name discrepancy.”
