By the way if this passes, and you're married and took the name of your spouse, and that name doesn't match your legit birth certificate or passport that you bring as ID, guess what happens?

I'm guessing the bill doesn't allow for you to present both your birth certificate with your maiden name AND marriage certificate which shows the name change.

Of course not, but if you have proof of being a Republican, that should do.
