10. They don't have to repeal it, yet

They just have to make it so that women who are married can't show the documentation that proves who they are, because who changes their birth certificate to reflect their new last name when they get married?

Women who never changed their last names are good, but others, not so much.

I've been married for 36 years and registered to vote in several states over the years. I have been registered to vote in Iowa for 23 years now, but if they decide to make all women re-register (which isn't out of the realm of possibility in this state) I would probably not be able to register, because my birth certificate has a different last name on it than my "real ID" driver's license or my passport.

It's a back door to taking away our right to vote.

And I doubt the Supreme Court will rule against it. So, they can choose their voters, and that doesn't include women.
