After Donald Trump’s victory in last year’s presidential election, several MAGA influencers cheered the prospect of him trampling on women’s rights. And Republican lawmakers have acted on that ethos with startling speed.
Voting rights activists have condemned the measure as a voter suppression bill, saying it requires documents that members of marginalized groups, particularly nonwhite people, disproportionately lack.
And critics have also said the law runs the risk of disenfranchising women who marry and then change their last name.
“The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don’t match their birth certificates,” Hillary Clinton noted on X.
