Over half of Americans have no passport, if you are a married woman who has officially changed their name and have no passport you will be charged $160+ for a passport to be allowed to vote.

Why should married woman be penalised? Are you against Christian marriage?

Which are not false. The whole point of this bill is that some US citizens will be disenfranchised.

I saw nowhere in the article that one would be required to have a passport in order to vote. There are more than a few different ways to provide proof of ID.

The only two forms of id that are guaranteed to work are passport or birth certificate, the id card mentioned is not legitimate as non citizens can have one. So if your married and have changed your name to one not on your birth certificate yes you will be required to have a passport.

For married persons, a documented and legal marriage license should be sufficient instead of a passport. My wife didn't need a passport to get her last name legally changed.

Sorry been but no, a passport or a birth certificate with the correct name will be required. Unless a marriage license is specifically mentioned it will not be good enough.

This whole exercise is about restricting and making voting harder.

PRove they are false.

Nobody on this planet gets to "proclaim" things as false and assume everyone believes them.

How many papers should we be required to take to the polls?
Should we carry them everywhere in case some ICE officials demand to see our papers?

Nothing says 'Freedom' than being required to provide papers!

Only if we are non white.

A variety of identification means are accepted, there indeed is no passport requirement in the Act. As to a person changing their name when married, for many government functions, such as getting a driver's license, the law requires a person to show proper identification. Realize that if you do take a new name you will have to go through extensive paperwork to change your name with your employer and with the government. There also seems to be some confusion about voting, the Act requires proper identification to register to vote. That does not mean there are the same requirements every time you vote.

Either one takes money and time to get.

Riiight, I’ll never need to prove who I am to vote. Sure.

There is virtually zero evidence of voter fraud---and overwhelming evidence of voter suppression.
Voting should be encouraged and promoted.
If there is doubt, a provisional ballot can be cast.

You are proud of voter suppression, gerrymandering, closing polls early in cities to prevent black people from voting?
You are proud of Republicans who want to put their thumb on the scale and make things harder?
God would not support corruption and dishonesty and neither will I.

What voter suppression? What’s wrong with having an ID to vote? How is that a bad thing? Odd.

I doubt that.

As a German I am just amazed that this hasn't been a requirement before. Here you need to be registered in the electoral register in order to vote, and for that you need proof of citizenship. Anything else would allow non-citizens to vote, and how is that not banana-republic stuff?
