Hear her when she says they're coming for women's right to vote. [View all]

Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton Aug 11
You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)? Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.




We Asked Pete Hegseth if Women Should Have the Right to Vote. The Answer Was … Unsettling.

House Republican schemes to deprive millions of women of voting rights

WASHINGTON—A prominent member of the hard right House “Freedom Caucus,” Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, plans to deprive millions of women of their rights to vote, a prominent member of the Progressive Democrats of America says.

Roy is pushing a bill, HR22, the SAVE Act, which PDA member Mickey Leader warned could cut female voter turnout by 30%.

The SAVE Act as a target the progressives could take on and defeat, using the methods the session discussed, said Leader and Mike Fox, PDA’s deputy executive director who chaired the February 6 zoom session of 250-plus people.

The act’s restriction that knocks out women is simple, Leader said. It requires anyone showing up to vote to bring identification with a name identical to the one they used when first registering.

“If your voter registration says. ‘Mickey Liskin,’ and the driver’s license you present” to pick up a ballot “says ‘Mickey Leader,’ you’re disqualified,” she warned. “Thirty percent of women will be knocked out on the spot” because they never re-registered under their current names.
