Speaking specifically about married women who have taken there husbands name. I remember a lot of focus in the recent elections was on suburban women in swing states like Pennsylvania. I know these assholes don't give a shit about the opinions of women, but plenty of them turned out and cast their vote for Trump.

I'm an idiot so don't take this too seriously but I imagine that, overall, women tend to vote democrat. So even if it hurts women in both sides, democrats need it more. Also, republicans are moving away from winning and more towards accomplishing their goals. So even if it would cost them a voter demographic, it's worth it to hate women. Plus white women in suburbs are more likely to be able to fix the issue behind their voting ineligibility.

That makes sense. Especially considering that they don't expect another fair election anyway.

Any name that is different on your photo ID than on your birth certificate would require a passport to vote. That includes hyphenated surnames and trans people as well.

Republicans have no problem shooting themselves in the foot for stupid reasons. Friendly fire is a regular occurrence with them. The reaction to COVID and the resulting difference in deaths across states and regions are a great example.
