Senator Fetterman supports the GOP voting ID law just passed in House

To those who support the new voting ID the GOP support and just voted on in the House, think about how it will affect women and their ability to vote.
To get a birth certificate costs at least $30. If you married and your name is different than your birth name, you have to pay to get a copy of your marriage license which could cost up to $5o if it's available which sometimes it isn't. If you are on your second or third marriage, you will need all copies of marriage and divorce papers which will cost more. Manywomen can't afford this, and this bill affects women more than men due to only women changing their names for the most part.
This bill is a very expensive poll tax in another name and an attempt to make it much more difficult for women to vote, which is the goal of the GOP as stated by many in power.

If you can afford a state ID, then perhaps voting isn't your biggest worry.

Voter ID has overwhelming support from American voters, so I doubt this problem is as widespread as Democrats want us to believe.

Ummm, shouldn't one have a copy of their birth certificate and marriage license already? Even if one doesn't already, getting copies of those docs is highly advisable (e.g. to obtain a passport). Let's pretend the cost for the documents one should already have is $100. That's a one-time cost for documents that are potentially useful for other necessary purposes. BTW, anyone who already has a REAL ID compliant drivers license already has an ID that satisfies SAVE Act ID requirements.
