16. The State of Texas made the decision to put the maiden name on the Texas Driver's Licenses

instead of the legal name found in the County Marriage Records. It could be acceptable for this election, to allow the first name, address and voter affidavit, but in the big November 2014 election, GOP could pull off an upset by refusing to honor married women voters cards. I believe that married women voters filled out a paper ballot, and voted Wendy Davis back in to the Senate in 2012. The GOP could use such a trick to keep women from voting in 2014.

Look at your Marriage License. It shows the Record Book number, Volume number and page number where your marriage is recorded at the county court house in the county that you were married in. I sent this information to the Social Security Administration when I changed to a new social security card form my old one with my maiden name on it. It is still the same number of course.
