I just saw Suffs ( Broadway show about the suffragettes journey). It was very emotional and I can’t believe we are here again. Call every woman legislator this week and remind them they would not have a job without the vote of women.
When I turned 18 (44 years ago) I registered to vote as a Republican, was taught to vote for the character of a candidate, not the party (so guess who I didn't vote for in the last presidential election). This past Fall being completely disgusted with what is happening in our government, I changed my voter registration to "Not Affiliated" and let my senators know they wouldn't get my vote if they didn't stop some of the stuff going on. Just a few weeks ago, amidst all the SAVE Act I changed my voter registration once again since I'm a married woman who changed her name 39 years ago. So now I am a registered Democrat. Maybe one day, if our democratic republic survives I will be able to go back to being a Republican we'll see, time will tell.
I have been surprised that no one mentions the registration process outlined in the bill - one must present the qualifying documents in person to the local election official. AND that if passed, it goes into effect immediately. Does this mean everyone would have to reregister before the upcoming mid terms? The states have no process in place yet they will need to process millions in just a few months? And how to students, mobility impaired, Americans working outside of the country manage to do this in person???
