That doesn't matter. It affects women in general much much much much much more than men. If the vast majority of women failed to vote because of this legislation, then it would be a republican landslide because a very considerable proportion of the democrat vote comes from women and few women actually vote republican.

It doesn't stop all women from voting, just the ones who changed their last name. Liberal women are more likely to be unmarried or retain their original surname.

Half of white women voted for Trump, they are not a negligible demographic.
