#Voter #disenfranchisement , a top priority of #Project2025, would be done by requiring either a birth cert or passport in your current name, meaning up to 70 million married women and low income people are the targets.
This affects *everyone* whose name has changed.
* immigrants who tried to assimilate
* married women
* transfolk
* adopteesIf you currently use a name other than the one your parents gave you, it affects you.
In WA state, mail-in voting would be destroyed by this law. #washington #Seattle #KingCounty
Contact your Senstors to oppose this, today 2/12
Here's how they would do it.

Adam Serwer writing in *The Atlantic* on the recent 8th circuit appeals decision gutting the Voting Right Act. The decision prevents citizens and groups from filing lawsuits seeking relief under the act, limiting it to the Justice Department. A government action. Which, as Sewer notes, is at odds with the intent of congress and longstanding application.
