![Will the SAVE Act Disenfranchise Millions of Voters?
The claim in the image about the SAVE Act potentially disenfranchising 69 million women voters appears to be based on concerns regarding the bill's stringent voter registration requirements. The SAVE Act mandates that individuals provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, to register to vote in federal elections. This requirement poses challenges for married women who have changed their legal names after marriage, as their birth certificates may not match their current legal names. Approximately 69 million married women in the U.S. could face difficulties under this provision[2][4][5].
Additionally, the act would require voters to present these documents in person, effectively eliminating online, automatic, and mail-in voter registration options. This could disproportionately impact groups with less access to such documentation, including women, trans individuals, low-income citizens, and racial minorities[4][6]. Critics argue that these measures amount to voter suppression rather than addressing voter fraud, which is already illegal and rare[4][6].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3epzqefaicyxkh2z3fywbmy5/bafkreihd2nml6r6ipx5t4w7gh7bc3mnlquswjtapseqvmapq7vo2ynfukm)

While the claim that "the press is not covering this" is inaccurate—numerous outlets have reported on the SAVE Act's implications—it is true that the legislation has sparked significant concerns about its potential impact on voting accessibility for millions of Americans[3][5][6].

Political cartoon featuring two lawyers reading a Law journal, the first lawyer says, “What should be done with the title of the Attorney General?” and the second lawyer responds, “Banishment to Nauru Springs to mind”. I can’t quite make out the signature because I don’t have my glasses on but I think the cartoonist is S. Roth.
Hang on a minute! Australia’s #AttorneyGeneral is not required to have legal qualifications! How the bloody hell does that work then?
“There’s no requirement in the #AustralianConstitution or #FederalLegislation for the AG to be a #lawyer.”
