Hillary Clinton, former First Lady of the nation, is convinced that Republican legislation regarding voters will end up making it more difficult for married women to vote in the next elections, which, in her view, will be favorable to the interests of the current federal administration.

Through a message posted on the platform formerly known as Twitter, the former Secretary of State indicated that, after listening to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address, she concluded that it is time to act to prevent conservatives from disenfranchising a segment of the population.

“You didn't need to listen to Trump's rambling speech last night to know that Republicans are trying to make it harder for millions of Americans, especially married women, to vote. They've made that clear. It's time to fight back,” she wrote.

It should be noted that the president asked Congress to pass the Protecting American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which aims to strengthen election regulations by requiring citizens to present photo identification to the polls, as well as proof of US citizenship, in order to be eligible to vote.

The argument behind the request is that in this way This would prevent “immigrants (lacking legal status) and other undocumented individuals from voting.”

Conversely, Democrats describe the legislation as empowering the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to access information on American voters and creating a problem for married women, since to vote, the information on their identification must completely match the name registered on the voter rolls, which often doesn't happen, as women take their husband's last name after legal marriage.

In this regard, Chip Roy, a Texas conservative who spearheaded both the SAVE Act and the SAVE America Act in the House of Representatives, dismissed the Democratic criticism as absurd. “This is complete nonsense, as we specifically allowed a provision to ensure that no one is left behind.If a woman were to attempt to register to vote using different names on her birth certificate and driver's license, we literally established that she only needs to sign an affidavit under penalty of perjury stating, 'I am that person. This is my birth certificate… and this is my driver's license reflecting my married name,'” he said. While the controversial bill mentions a birth certificate as an option to confirm a citizen's identity, it does not specify that the information must match perfectly. Furthermore, individuals can also present a passport, REAL ID, or military ID card to meet the requirement.
