House Republicans blocked Rep. Brittany Pettersen's amendment protecting married women's voting rights under the SAVE Act
The post describes a real legislative episode: Pettersen (D-CO) offered an amendment to the GOP-backed SAVE Act to ensure married women (and others) whose legal name doesn't match their ID couldn't be barred from voting; House Republicans on the Rules Committee blocked it. The SAVE Act's documentation requirements have been reported by PolitiFact and 19th News as a real registration barrier for an estimated ~69 million married women whose current legal name doesn't match their birth certificate.
