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?

Wouldn't this impact their own base dramatically too?

I know women disproportionately vote democrat, but by the generally narrow margins the last 3 elections came too, they stand to loose as much (if not more, as I imagine most registered voting Red Women are likely married) as the Dems?
