Throwing people off voter rolls is why Trump wants those state rolls. [View all]

Wondering: How many facing potential disenfranchisement are women?

And how many women will be disenfranchised because their 'married name' no longer matches birth name or previous drivers' pre-marriage license name?

The GOP, and Trump mob in particular, know women are gonna be a real problem for them. There has been talk of disenfranchising women for a few years now. The mismatched name issue could easily be the starting place for the disenfranchisement of millions of women.

GET THE PAPERS YOU NEED TO SHOW WHY BIRTH NAME AND CURRENT NAME MIGHT NOT MATCH? To it NOW!
Here is link to CDC site to guide people to links to use to get certified copies of vital records. Please share the link and why it is needed.

If possible, set up ways to help poor women in your town afford to pay for any/all certified copies of records they need to prove why their names may now be different from the names on their birth certificates.

GOP knows they have lost the female vote in many places. They will try to keep us from voting. Do not let that happen.

Get the word out that women need to get vital records NOW. It takes time for states/counties to get us the docs we may need. DO NOT hesitate.
