Most women vote Democratic. And most still change their name when they marry. And that’s where the GOP sees an Achilles’ heel.

September 19, 2024

Republicans don’t want women to vote. They now think they may have a strategy that could prevent them from doing so. House Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Donald Trump were pushing the [Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act], or SAVE Act, demanding it be part of must-pass legislation to fund the federal government for another year (the funding runs out at the end of this month, and then the shutdown begins).

It died in the House Wednesday night, but, like a bad penny, you can bet it’ll return.

The writer accidentally a whole word (it's the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act)

I thought I might be to blame in my fat fingered copy-and-pasting. Nope. The glory is all theirs. And that article has had that mistake for 4 days.
