93. You have many "legacy" voters

Mon Sep 1, 2025, 07:08 AM

Monday

who came through a time when getting the required documents is beyond being a chore - it's next to impossible due to poor record-keeping at many municipal/county/state offices - and that includes stuff needed for the current "Real ID".

You also have an added burden on women who marry and being required to present or get an "original" (albeit, with a state seal) copy of their marriage certificate, which adds a "cost" that should also be considered a "poll tax". But since women are 2nd class citizens, the patriarchs don't care.

I expect as is happening more and more nowadays, women are keeping their "maiden names" when they marry and you will see far fewer "hyphenated last names" because that would affect men too, who would also need their marriage certificate to clarify why the last name doesn't "match" their birth name.

It's a ridiculous "solution" for something that has been shown over and over and over and over and over as not being any "significant problem".
