Several Republican lawmakers, including Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), have rebuked Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) for saying that the SAVE Act would hurt women voters.
Speaking at a town hall, Slotkin said that the SAVE Act was designed to “rig our democracy so that it would be hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election.”
She also said it would “disenfranchise all married women,” adding that they would have to show their birth certificates at the polls if they have a married name.
Sen. Rand Paul and other lawmakers clapped back in posts on X, dismissing her claims as “false.”
“This talking point from the Left is not only false, but it also paints women as incapable, which we all know is not the case. Showing up to the polls to vote with an ID that proves you’re an American citizen – whether you’re married or not – is common sense. We need to pass the SAVE America Act,” said Rand Paul.
