The End Of A Woman's Right To Choose. How did we lose? T.R.A.P.

35. It's true in every state that has toughened the voter ID laws

And for those which use the federal ID standards. You have to take in every piece of paperwork that proves your legal name. Birth certificates are required in most cases. If you married and changed your name, you have to take your marriage certificate to show why your name is different from your birth certificate. If you divorced or your husband died and remarried, you have to take in the divorce decree or death certificate.

The big thing in Texas is the requirement that the voter ID and driver's license match exactly. And since sometimes the individual is not given a choice in the format of the name on the driver's license, that can cause problems.

I'd have trouble in Texas even though I never changed my name. My driver's license reads First Middle Last - for everything else I use First M. Last and that is what is on my voter's card. I had no choice in the format of my name on my driver's license - that is what Florida requires to be used. The difference between a middle initial and a spelled out name could cost me the right to vote if Florida follows Texas in their efforts to block votes.

We all need to watch out for crap like this!
