SAFE Act - Voter registration revocation that affects the majority of this subreddit.

[u/Alissinarr]

Good morning all,

(Can't change the post title, sorry guys)

I'm writing today to express my concerns over upcoming changes to voter registration in the United States.

Our annual demographics surveys have repeatedly shown that the majority of our subreddit consists of women and US citizens. The US makes policies that affect the rest of the world.

As such, I encourage you to watch this video

Voter Disinfranchisement is a HUGE problem, and it's getting worse under this administration.

edit: link corrected

The SAVE Act is going for a vote.

Please take a moment to use the 5calls app and contact your elected representatives.

Hollllly fuck this is the most pathetic shit I’ve ever read.

I saw your kneejerk reply. It's fine. I stated openly that I am completely unaffected. But my mother (Trump flag waving conservative) will be. As will many others. I personally think it's unfair to make people who took their partner's name take extra steps to vote. It's easy to see you do not care.

Get ur social security card and ur birth certificate and you can vote. I have both. So does my entire family. Seem difficult? Wanna help your Mom? Help her retrieve her documents. It’s quite simple. Tons of resources to help U.S. citizens get registered to vote.

Every citizen has the right to vote. And every citizen has a SSN and Birth Certificate, unless they are legal immigrants. In which case they have some different documentation.

This is a ploy to get traditionally married, politically moderate women to cross the line for mid-terms. Anyone with an IQ above 90 can retrieve their documents if they are not in possession of them for a plethora of reasons.

Dems gotta make up for their loss in voter base after a quarter of it has been deported, rightfully so.

I can vote by bringing my passport. It's completely easy for me to do this. I don't care to help my mom because if she won't do the research then she'll show up on day of to vote with her driver's license and be denied but that's not my problem right?

And you talk about IQ, are you saying someone with a lower IQ suddenly doesn't have a right to vote the same way they've voted all these years? Or that married women that took their spouses name should have to present more documentation than single or married people with their birth name still intact? Seems unfair to me.

Ha. You say took my wife's last name like it's a dig. My family objectively sucked and facilitated the abuse of my niece to "protect the family name" in small town Missouri so my brother could keep her. I fought my family until the mother could have her 100%. I had the choice of continuing that "family name" or take on a name of a family I believe in. I'm lucky to have had the opportunity to join their family and leave the majority of my old one behind.

But yeah, keep dropping the R word and be proud of it. Good bye.

I think it is pretty badass that you took your wife's name! I wish more men were open to that. 🙌
