2. GOP - FAFO.? Motivation level of women with changed last names
Tue Feb 10, 2026, 05:48 AM

I’m opposed to this bill, obviously. But women having to jump through extra hoops for married names will not please any of them. And it remains to be seen whose voters are more motivated to overcome these barriers in order to vote. It’s possible it could backfire or at least equalize.

The older the voter, the more likely a name change.

Really irritating this Scripps article doesn’t mention this key aspect, though..
